Why this broccoli
Continuous production
Stable supply throughout the year thanks to Ecuador's climatic conditions.

Clean agricultural management and batch testing against the maximum residue limits (MRLs) of each destination market.
Strategic alliances
Solidarity economy through agreements with local growers in provinces such as Bolívar and Cotopaxi.
How we work
Industrial processing
IQF technology
Individual quick freezing: each floret is frozen separately, so no large ice crystals form and the nutrients and texture stay intact.
Volume
2,400 t/month of vegetables processed at our Lasso plant, Latacunga (Cotopaxi).
Clean energy
Solar power
1,200+ solar panels: 75% of the plant runs on photovoltaic energy. Our greenhouse gas inventory is verified under ISO 14064-1.
Quality and export
BRCGS certification
Global food safety standard supporting batches controlled for contaminants and residues.
Destinations
From Ecuador to the world, with a strong position in demanding markets such as the United Arab Emirates.
