Unica Group ups its green asparagus production with the integration of the European SCA

Unica Group, Spain’s leading horticultural exporter, has increased its green asparagus production to 800 tonnes during this campaign, following the integration in its tructure of the cooperative Europeos from Cádiz that, in addition to the product, is also engaged in the production and marketing of cereal and extra virgin olive oil.

With this operation, the cooperative Europeos, which has its headquarters in the municipality of Alcalá del Valle, in the middle of the Sierra de Cadiz, will start to market its products through Unica Group and, at the same time, access the advantages offered by the the AN Group, which, because it is a Priority Associative Entity (EAP), offers all its cooperatives and farmers partners the possibility of benefiting from the advantages that the recognition of the Ministry of Agriculture entails, such as the preference for investment aid , Marketing, training, R + D + i, ICO credits … and others that the autonomous communities can implement within their Regional Development Plans (RDPs).

The cooperative Europeos has more than 600 active farming partners, around 300 hectares of green asparagus that produce around 500 tons; 4,500 tons of cereals, 1.2 million liters of olive oil and 6.5 million kilos of olives.

In this way, Unica continues with its integration project expanding to the province of Cadiz. At present it is already present in Almeria, Granada and Murcia, through its cooperatives Cabasc, Casur, Cohorsan, Cota 120, the Group, Ferva, Natural Park, Agrolevante, Parafruts and Camposol

It should be remembered that last September took place the integration company of Unica Group in the AN Group. The result, when the turnover of both is consolidated, will lead the AN Group to a turnover of more than 1,000 million euros, becoming the largest fruit and vegetable cooperative in Spain and the fourth in Europe.
