About TCA
The Trade Center of the Americas was created to support Latin American SMEs in becoming more competitive, more visible, and better prepared to participate in sustainable and ethical global trade.
We believe that many producers, farmers, exporters, and entrepreneurs in Latin America have exceptional products, powerful stories, and strong potential, but they often lack access to the right networks, market intelligence, export-readiness tools, and trusted partners.
TCA exists to close that gap.
Through our membership community, WeFairTrade Academy, ETHICA Certification, consulting services, and marketplace opportunities, we help our members build stronger businesses, tell their stories with credibility, and connect with buyers and partners who value ethical, transparent, and sustainable supply chains.

Our Approach
We bridge markets.
TCA helps close the geographical, cultural, and commercial gap between Latin American SMEs and global markets, with a special focus on the United States and the U.S. Midwest.
We build community.
We provide a platform where members can connect, collaborate, share their stories, showcase their products, and learn from one another.
We use technology to create access.
Through digital tools, training, virtual engagement, and online visibility, we help our members overcome distance and connect with buyers, institutions, and partners more efficiently.
We amplify member voices.
We believe that producers and SMEs are not only suppliers. They are the heart of the supply chain. By helping members share their stories, values, and impact, we help them build deeper trust with customers, partners, and markets.
We promote ethical and traceable trade.
We support members in developing stronger business practices, more transparent operations, and more responsible supply chains that respond to the expectations of today’s global marketplace.
