Agrosol Export

What Agrosol Export does

Agrosol Export, S.L. is a family-owned horticultural producer headquartered in Roquetas de Mar, Almería, Spain, operating 456 hectares of greenhouse cultivation (60 hectares high-tech, 168 hectares medium-tech, 175 hectares conventional, 53 hectares organic) that produces more than 27 million kilograms of vegetables annually. Its portfolio spans cucumbers (including a year-round continuous production system that pioneered the model in Almería), California and Ramiro peppers, Italian peppers in red/yellow/green, cherry and vine tomatoes, melons, zucchini, and eggplant, available in both conventional and organic variants through the Agrosol Nature sub-brand.

The company generates revenue through two primary channels. The wholesale B2B channel supplies European food retailers and supermarkets under programmed crop contracts with constant volumes and fixed prices throughout campaigns, anchored by a long-standing commercial relationship with UK partner Glinwell PLC (since 1996) and a 32-hectare joint venture (Glinwell Spain, 2015). The direct-to-consumer channel operates an e-commerce storefront (tienda.agrosolexport.com) with TIPSA logistics and PayPal payment integration selling individual produce units, organic SKUs, and curated vegetable baskets.

Agrosol's operations are differentiated by three generations of agronomic expertise, comprehensive food safety and sustainability certifications (Global G.A.P., GRASP, LEAF Marque, Nurture, M&S Select Farm Review), and operational investments in continuous cucumber production, LED lighting (2022), water reuse drainage systems, and biocontrol pest management. Capital structure includes the Amat, Iglesias, and Romero founding families alongside Aurica Capital, which joined the shareholding in 2018, and the company has received NextGenerationEU funding for greenhouse modernization.
