This year there will be no important new developments. Sources at the company are committed to following the same trend as in previous years, maintaining the volumes in virtually all their products (lettuce, courgettes and watermelons). But the exception that confirms the rule will be the cauliflower. “We are going to increase the volume slightly. We have learnt to produce and handle this product very well and we are going to commit to it a little more,” the manager José Navarro advances.
In terms of investments, this year they foresee acquiring new land and continuing to improve, as always, the machinery used in both the fields and the warehouses.
Now the 2022/23 campaign has come to an end, which they valued as “very action-packed and not too boring,” for watermelons, their star product. The year has been very irregular regarding production due to the very changeable weather conditions. “At the start, we suffered from heavy rainfall, which made us lose part of the planned watermelons. The high temperatures brought the harvest forward throughout almost the entire campaign. We reached September with less volume than planned, as the watermelons were harvested in August. The campaign will end slightly earlier. We will not reach the end of September.”
