“We continue to consolidate our business model which is giving tremendously positive results in all aspects, given that the good general start to the season has also led to notable growth in turnover, exceeding last season’s figures by 28 per cent,” the company said.

Annual growth has increased from 3 per cent three years ago, to 7 per cent the following year and 13 per cent in 2023/24. Agroponiente said the improvement is due to good productive momentum on its farms, and new members joining the group because of its strong performance.

CEO Imanol Almudí said: “The very positive results we are achieving this season reflect the company’s good momentum in the sector, the recognition we are getting from the business for a job well done and consistency over time.

“With values and ways of doing things that generate solvency and ensure a very good return for all the agents involved in the project, from the growers to the company’s own employees, including our suppliers and clients, and therefore involving both the institutions and Almeria society as a whole, which is grateful that at the moment there is an exciting project in the agricultural sector, which is fighting tooth and nail to become a European vegetable champion based in Almeria”.
