AgroaldeaWILL WORK TO ACHIEVE THE ECO SEAL, THE HIGHEST RECOGNITION OF QUALITY OF A FOOD.
It has recently been constituted by a wide representation of organic producers from the Palmero banana sector., the Motor Group of Organic Banana Producers of La Palma, understanding that, in the near future, “We must export quality products from this island if we intend to remain in the market.”.
This working group emerges as a forum in which to train and inform those banana producers who grow according to European organic farming standards., while exchanging experiences and cultivation techniques.
It stands as a valid interlocutor to propose information measures to administrations and other actors in the sector., help and advice, a la hora de abordar los temas relacionados con la producción biológica.
De manera horizontal y asamblearia, e independientemente de la empaquetadora y la organización de productores a que se pertenezca, trabajarán en aras de lograr los parámetros exigidos, primando la calidad del producto, la calidad del operario en campo y la calidad medioambiental.
Los integrantes de este grupo están convencidos de que es una clara línea de futuro para este sector y por ello tienden la mano a toda aquella persona e institución que tenga interés en este interesante mercado creciente.
En la creación de este “Motor” of organic bananas, concern for an increasingly healthy diet and recent research into the relationship between the use of phytosanitary products and the increase in cancer and other diseases have also taken precedence..
Another fact that has been taken into account is that the demand of a growing market in the Peninsula and Europe is much higher than the current production of organic fruit..
Helping and expediting the transformation of conventional cultivation into a toxic-free and more sustainable one is one of its objectives., as is getting the Eco seal, which is the highest recognition of quality of a food.
