Cooperativa La Palma: social, environmental and cooperative purpose

Its model is based on the Circular Economy and Zero Waste, with sustainable, healthy, tasty and innovative farming methods both for consumers and for the planet

Cooperativa La Palma works with the entire agrifood value chain, with which it shares the purpose of having a positive impact on its surroundings; feeding with awareness, as well as using the natural resources responsibly. And therefore, that of guaranteeing the profession’s future.

Its chairman, Pedro Ruiz, affirms that La Palma is ready and able to contribute to feeding 750 million Europeans in a healthy, sustainable way. “We are already generating smart, sustainable and integrating growth, upheld by the innovation and values of the circular economy.”

The cooperative continues to concentrate on product improvement and on the Transfer of Knowledge in order to train all the agents about the food revolution. To do this, it has one of the most innovative agricultural systems, recognised by institutions and professionals.

Its continuous commitment centred on a magnificent selection of top-quality vegetables, where they are leaders in Mini-Vegetables, with a wide variety of speciality tomatoes, snack cucumbers and mini-peppers. And new tasty tomatoes with the spotlight placed on their nutritional benefits, as well as with an extensive line of sub-tropical fruits, with custard apples, avocados and mangos, along with the new additions of pitayas, passion fruit and caviar lime.

Aware of the new consumption models and concern about the health of both people and the planet, they have implanted a circular production system, connected and sustainable with which they reduce, recover, reuse, repair and recycle. Strengthening their production of very high-quality fresh vegetables and giving life to an innovative Plant Based and Vegan Foods project, with a vegetable protein base, where they are moving forward at great speed.

Cooperativa La Palma offers 100% natural preparations based on their fresh produce, with innovative formats in recyclable containers or that are manufactured using organic materials. These include vegetable creams, vegetable Bluefin Tuna, vegetable sauces, vegan hamburgers or snacks, and products for culinary purposes. The raw materials are cultivated by their associate farmers in Andalusia, without any additives, using renewable energies, CO2 footprint reduction and sustainable, original packaging.
