As a rule of thumb, planting takes place in early March. The plants are arranged in an orderly manner to facilitate harvesting when optimum ripening has been achieved.
At the beginning, tomato plants should be abundantly watered to help the plant adapt to the soil and encourage root growth. This process will be repeated several times to deliver nutrients through fertigation. This allows the amount of nutrients to be kept at the minimum strictly necessary.
Tomato plants are relatively resistant to salinity. This means that our salt marshlands are ideal for growing tomatoes. In fact, salt gives our products a special flavour.
As the tomato plants develop and go through different phenological stages, our technical team closely monitors the process as part of the comprehensive Service rendered by our company. The weekly visits to the farms and continual contact with our farmers enables rigorous monitoring of pests, diseases, use of fertilisers and irrigation.
Harvest takes place between July and September, when the tomato has reached optimum ripeness. It is at this time that this process is carried out. The harvested tomato is transported to our facilities and processed the same day.
