Cut and Packing

All tasks are supervised by qualified technicians.

We do weekly shipments during all the year, by selecting the fruit for its age verified through colored ribbons.

Protection methods as bagging, cutting off bottom banana hands from the bunch known as deschive, taking out the infecting source from the banana leaves, surgery, children diversion from plants and the use of protectors, are essential for an excellent quality fruit.

Contribution to the Environment

We are immersed in integrated production systems operations which allow the coexistence of our crops and biodiversity, preserving this way the natural resources of the area.

We irrigate our crops with river water and the same time we protect the natural course of rivers cross near the farms.

In some plantations, the water used in the cutting process is subjected to a purification process and becomes part of the pools for the consumption of tilapia by the employees and their families.

We have a protection program timberland; one covers a perimeter of 60 hectares and one of our producers preserves an area of 700 hectares primary forest providing oxygen to the Earth.
