Spain’s CMR Group has announced the opening of a new subsidiary in Brazil, which will focus on supplying melons and watermelons to the European market.
The new company, CMR Brazil, has a crop-growing area of 600ha in Rio Grande do Norte State, which the group said was an important source of fruit and vegetables in Brazil thanks to its fertile earth and excellent climate conditions.
In a statement, CMR Group’s marketing manager, Carlos Molina, said the inauguration of CMR Brazil was continuing the process of geographic expansion and increased commercial coverage that the company had launched in recent years.
CMR Brazil, which will concentrate on producing melons and watermelons for sale and distribution in Europe under the Cosarica brand, will be run by a dedicated team at offices in Natal, Rio Grande do Norte.
The new company joins the group’s existing operations - Fruits CMR in Barcelona, Comercial Infinita in Madrid and CMR Holland, which is based in Barendrecht, in the Netherlands.
