Currently, the company has grown to about 5,000 associates and a cultivation area of almost 50,000 Ha.

Their associates cultivate and produce the almond, and the cooperative processes transforms and markets the product, the process culminating when the production is settled to the farmer.

Organic farming production is essential for the company.

For years, in the company there has been a strong introduction of organic cultivation, which is increasing due, above all to the rising demand by the final consumer for organic almonds.
