Production

In order to meet demand from the market while at the same time retaining control over the organic quality of our fruit and vegetables, back in the early years of ProNatura we set up our own "sourcing" unit.


Fruit and vegetables from Spain

Aledo grapes, carrots, citrus fruit, avocados, red fruit, cabbages, "ratatouille" vegetables and early fruit and vegetables account for much of the product range produced by this production chain.

 

The result of a 20-year partnership between ProNatura Méditerranée (formerly Bioprim) and the Spanish farmers, it is run from Alicante by an agricultural engineer who handles the monitoring and tracking of crops and provides technical advice to 130 market gardeners and fruit farmers. In 2007, it supplied more than 6000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables.

The ripening process for organic bananas
Bananas take several weeks to travel by boat from the production areas (in Central America and Africa) to the end markets. Consequently, these are harvested when still green in the banana plantations in order to better withstand transportation and to slow down the natural ripening process. Upon arrival, they are ripened in special ripening chambers in order to obtain the uniform degree of ripeness and colour.
