Our mission is to produce the best Mediterranean almonds. We use smart farming tools and cutting-edge technology to guarantee consistent and sustainable production. From Portugal’s interior to the world.
In bulk or packaged, in their shells or processed, we have every kind of almond to offer. Our product is what drives us.
We seek to balance high productivity with a respect for the environment by investing in technologies that promote intelligent production and that make the best use of resources.
Veracruz is the first company in the world to have traceable almonds. We use blockchain technology to trace the entire production process.
We use air and land drones to more swiftly and efficiently detect faults.
Every day, we use innovative technology to control and manage the entire production.
We are pioneers in the use of Aqua4d technology, which treats the water before being used on the crop and fosters zero water waste.
We take care of the soil through inter-row planting, organic fertilizing using plant material from tree pruning, and by choosing the most efficient varieties.
We invest in partnerships with academic institutions to produce scientific knowledge that helps us to grow and produce in an increasingly effective and environmentally-friendly way.
In every stage of production, we ensure that our more than 1300 hectares are productive and sustainable. That means producing the maximum amount of high-quality almonds with the minimum possible impact on the environment.
preparing the soil is essential for planting and makes it easier to tend our trees throughout their entire life cycle.
with the help of precision farming, we draw up irrigation, fertilisation and pruning plans, among others.
we monitor the health of our almonds every day and pick them at just the right time.
our almonds are stored in appropriate facilities to ensure the right level of humidity and crunchiness.
the time has come to even further enhance the value of our fruit, in line with the most important food safety guidelines.
