Managing director Joan Mir said the company wanted to send a message of encouragement to those caught up in the pandemic. “With this shipment we want to show everyone that the agri-food sector is doubling down during these difficult days to ensure that society continues to be fed, especially the people most affected by this crisis such as the sick, health personnel and other vulnerable social groups.”
