By: MIC Food “We are honored to receive Minority Business Enterprise certification, which will allow MIC Food a unique opportunity to establish business relationships with corporate affiliates and other MBEs,” explained Cirabel Lardizabal Olson, Vice President of Strategy and Marketing for MIC Food. “We are certain that this prestigious certification, combined with our line of consistent, high-quality authentic Latin and Caribbean products, will place MIC Food in a favorable position for growth and success.” NMSDC’s Minority Business Enterprise certification is a highly coveted designation for minority-owned businesses in the United States. This rigorous certification process requires that minority businesses in the Network are at least 51% minority-owned, operated and controlled. A combination of screenings, interviews and site visits establishes eligibility. This feature distinguishes NMSDC from other organizations or entities that publish directories which allow “self-certification” “We have clients who are interested in supporting minority owned businesses,” About MIC Food Founded in 1987, MIC Food is the largest US importer of frozen plantain products, including sweet plantain slices, tostones, plantain cups and other plantain derived products.
