The first tomatoes of this harvest are already in European markets.

THE FIRST TWELVE THOUSAND KILOS OF THE VILLAGE WERE PACKAGED LAST WEEK.

The COAGRISÁN Cooperative has already begun exporting the fruit of this campaign to European markets at a time when prices are relatively good for the season.. In addition, The sector has already received aid from POSEI and a good part of it has seen its request for aid for the modernization of farms approved..

The news could not be more optimistic for the export tomato sector. If we add to the above that the situation in Morocco and Almería is not encouraging at all., everything points to some good months for tomatoes in Europe.

Regarding the crops, COAGRISÁN technicians have informed Agroaldea which are in exceptional condition. The incidents have been minimal to date, showing slight attacks of thrips in some areas. The fruit is turning out to be of very good quality and both its ripening and condition allow us to predict a good start to the campaign..

As usually happens, while optimism exudes in these latitudes, other producing areas such as Morocco or Almería are suffering serious infections of the spoon virus. In Almería more than 300 hectares uprooted due to the damage of this virus. This leads to less saturation of the markets and, thus, a better outlet of the fruit in the market. In addition, To this situation is added the “almost disappearance” of the Dutch tomato from the markets due to the poor quality of the fruit.

All expectations point positively. The export tomato, after long years of losses, cierres, debts and failures begin to take center stage, demonstrating that the professionalism and tenacity of those who have maintained and transformed their farms are beginning to bear fruit.

In the village, the cultivation, the packaging, Transportation and auxiliary industry move a high percentage of the municipality's economy, which has a direct impact on the dynamics and employability as the main economic engine..
