Our expertise

We have control over the entire process from the seeds used for our crops to the products served up on your table. For 25 years we have been growing our own crops and preparing our vegetables whilst still in the fields, always taking the best possible care of our surroundings and the environment.

We also have a cutting-edge processing and distribution centre. Our agricultural and production capacity, together with our dedication to efficiency, sustainability and continual improvement, enable us to stay ahead in our field, making us one of the most modern fruit and vegetable companies in Europe.

Sustainability

The efficient use of resources and respect for the environment are top priorities. Our farms have rainwater collection systems, and using lower-volume hoses we consume 30% less water. Current projects involve reducing the use of pesticides and herbicides.

We are working to improve our irrigation systems and growing techniques and are developing more sustainable crops. We also have harvesting machinery for cleaning and packaging vegetables straight from the fields, thus contributing towards more efficient logistics.

We are also improving processes at our production centre. The plant is equipped with LED technology and, to reduce carbon emissions, we work with pooling systems using returnable packaging and reverse logistics.

As part of our commitment to sustainability we offer an organic product range and are introducing environmentally-friendly design in our packaging to reduce the use of plastic, using the lowest weights possible and biodegradable or compostable materials. Our cardboard packaging is FSC certified.

Our fields

We have more than 2,400 hectares of field crops and 193 hectares of greenhouse crops, distributed across 15 farms located in 4 provinces in the south-east of Spain (Murcia, Almería, Albacete and Granada). Out in the field, we work with a strong social and environmental commitment, looking after and respecting natural resources.

We grow a wide range of vegetables and herbs, including different varieties of lettuce, courgettes, broccoli, radishes and sweetcorn. We also specialise in specific varieties for the fresh-cut produce industry, such as babyleaf varieties of red and green batavia lettuce, lollo rosso, rocket and spinach. On our farms in Tenerife we also grow lamb’s lettuce.

Our plant

Our plant, located in Dolores de Pacheco (Murcia) is equipped with the latest technology to guarantee maximum freshness, quality and efficiency in our production processes. The vegetables arriving straight from the fields are kept fresh by passing them through modern vacuum cooling systems.

Our agricultural and industrial capacity, as well as our technological versatility, enables us to manufacture 900 finished product references, adapted to different formats, packaging and weights and to the needs of different markets and channels. This capacity enables us to guarantee production and supply to our customers 365 days a year.

Our processing plant is certified for organic food processing. All of this makes Agromediterránea one of the most modern fruit and vegetable companies in Europe.

Innovation

Since we started out, innovation has been one of our hallmarks. We frequently add new vegetable varieties to our range of crops, always seeking to offer innovative products that respond to consumer trends in the markets that we work with.

We invest over 1 million euros a year in R&D and collaborate with universities and scientists to create a network of knowledge and innovation that enables us to progress in our day-to-day activity and the agri-food sector.

Food safety and quality        

In our processes we implement rigorous controls that guarantee maximum freshness, food safety and quality. All of our farms have the international Global G.A.P. certificate in good agricultural practices and the GRASP module – Global G.A.P. risk assessment on social practice.

Our processing plant is also equipped with the latest technology to guarantee maximum food safety, quality and we have obtained the most demanding certifications in this area, including IFS Food, BRC and QS. The plant is also certified for organic food processing.
