The family group’s supply comes to 35,000 tons of prepared produce, including 25,000 tons of citrus, 6,000 of peppers and 4,000 of melons. While the citrus supply is mostly made up of about 20,000 tons of lemons, there are also oranges, clementines and grapefruit, which account for another 5-6000 tons. Added to this, there are around 20,000 t of other vegetables from growers associated with the group, adding to the group’s product range with more tomatoes, lettuces, cucumbers, zucchini and watermelon. They have also started to produce their own tomatoes as of this season, having acquired 17 ha of greenhouses in the Nijar area.  
Germany is their biggest market, accounting for 60% of their exports. Then comes Austria with 15%, then the Nordic countries with 20%, and then France with 5%. They also operate their own transport fleet of about 20 trucks so as to control the entire supply chain. They meet the quality protocols required by customers in the field, the warehouse and in terms of the workplace, with the IFS, GlobalG.A.P., QS and GRASP certifications.
They also take part in the “Bayer Food Chain” program in order to minimize the risks of pesticide residues. “Our goal is to cultivate as safely as possible, with a minimum of waste, optimizing the comprehensive management of our crops,” Daniel and Jose Antonio Rosero explain. “We intend to continue expanding our range, ensuring the utmost safety for our products.”
