Spain ·
Citri&Co is an international fresh fruit group headquartered in Valencia, Spain. Rather than a single company, it is a group of specialist businesses that grow, pack and distribute fruit, including Martinavarro, Perales & Ferrer, Agrícola Famosa and Safresco. Safresco is the fresh fruit business built up within Citri&Co after its 2022 transaction with San Miguel, and it grows and ships citrus, grapes and avocados from South Africa, Peru, Argentina and Uruguay.
Because the group produces in several regions, a retailer or importer can build a supply programme by fruit, season and origin, moving from one growing area to the next as harvests end and begin. The range covers conventional and organic citrus, melons, watermelons, stone fruit and other fruit, and its organic farms lie in the Rio Tinto Mines area of Huelva. Packing is where fruit is sized, graded for quality and packed to each buyer's specification, including organic labelling where required.
Size of the business
Citri&Co reports more than one million tonnes of fresh fruit a year, over 28,000 hectares in production and distribution to more than 70 countries. The hectare figure measures area in production, not land ownership.
Does the offering consist only of citrus?
No. Besides conventional and organic citrus, Citri&Co supplies melons, watermelons and stone fruit.
How is Safresco connected with San Miguel?
Safresco is the fresh fruit business developed within Citri&Co after its 2022 transaction with San Miguel.
