Camposeven is a pioneer company in its business model, aimed towards ecological production, healthy eating and environmental sustainability
Spain is a leader in this type of production and continues to grow at an annual rate of two figures. “It is a vitally important fact for our country, but it also raises questions because there are operators that, if they enter the business, they are only doing it for economic reasons and not due to personal conviction,” says Adolfo García, manager of the company.
The company from San Pedro del Pinatar has been in the ecological and biodynamic farming business for over a decade now. One of its associates, David Samper, was one of the first farmers in Spain who backed this sustainable production method.
“It is true that ecological crops involve some more complex requirements, but our ultimate goal is our consumers’ health. When a consumer purchases a Camposeven product, it is guaranteed 100% that they have acquired a healthy product. And this is not just because we meet all the requirements inherent to this type of crop.”
“Everyone who makes up Camposeven, both employees and associates, have the firm conviction that there is a way of life that is more in line with nature stamped in our DNA, and we are also convinced that we can make a living from this.”
One of the company’s distinguishing marks is its wide offer both in fruit and vegetables, to which this year the dried fruit category will be added, with almond orchards being planted.
Camposeven products are firmly established on the markets of northern Europe, with Germany and Switzerland at the head, followed by France and England; but from this year onwards, the aim is to also make an effort towards the home market.
Accordingly, the company has already opened up different lines of work with some schools in the area, to which it sends fruit and vegetables and where it is working on making the younger generations aware of and starting to appreciate ecological produce.
Furthermore, the executive emphasises that “it should become well known that the yield per square metre is much lower than for conventional produce and, therefore, ecological fruit and vegetable is slightly more expensive, but not because the farmer is getting rich.”
Going a step further, García explains that consumers must think about this matter since “if we multiply the fruit and vegetable that we eat in a month by the difference in price compared to conventional produce, the difference is trifling, taking into account that no price tag can be put on our health.”
On the other hand, online sales under the brand name “Freshvana” continue to become consolidated.
