Almería’s Unica Group has seen a significant rise in its sales volume this season. The group has sold 253,000 tonnes of produce so far in 2015/16, exceeding pre-season expectations and beating last season’s total of 222,000 tonnes.
Unica’s organics line has performed particularly strongly, with sales doubling in the past year. The company said the final sales figure would be higher as there are still several weeks of the campaign left to run.
“We’ve seen significant growth across the board, led by our organics line which has seen a doubling in sales,” the group said.
Around 90 per cent of the group’s sales are overseas. Germany is the biggest export market, accounting for roughly a third of exports, followed by Poland, France, the UK, Scandinavia and the Netherlands.
