Core offering

ECOSUR produces, packages, and commercializes a portfolio of organic fruits and vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplant, zucchini, green beans, melons, and watermelons) cultivated under greenhouse cover at its facilities in Benahadux and Almería, Spain. Its core activity is the agricultural production and sale of these organic horticultural products to European retail distributors via a direct farm-to-market export channel, with growing domestic Spanish distribution. The company pairs this with R&D into reverse-osmosis-based effluent treatment and ICT nutrient monitoring (OSMAR project) to convert agricultural waste into ecological fertilizer.

Product overview

Ecosur is a producer and marketer of organic fruits and vegetables, founded in 1996 by the Lozano brothers in Almería, Spain.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Regional players

• CASI (Cooperativa Agraria San Isidro): Large Almería tomato cooperative dominating the conventional greenhouse tomato category. Comparable on production geography and crop focus, though CASI is primarily conventional; relevant as competitive pressure on organic and conventional-organic lines.
• Agroiris: Almería-based greenhouse produce grower and exporter with similar crop portfolio (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini). Comparable as a regional Andalusian competitor serving European retail, albeit at much larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Bonduelle: France-headquartered global leader in packaged and processed vegetables with organic product lines. Broader portfolio and significantly larger, but competes with ECOSUR for organic vegetable shelf space at European retailers.
• NatureSweet: Large-scale greenhouse tomato specialist with operations in Mexico and the US, selling premium branded tomatoes to North American and European retailers. Comparable on greenhouse tomato specialization and premium positioning, though geographically distinct.
• SVZ Industrial (Royal Cosun): European fruit and vegetable ingredient supplier owned by Royal Cosun, processing tomatoes and other vegetables from Mediterranean growers. Comparable buyer-side presence in Almería-region supply chains for tomato and vegetable processing.

Direct peers

• Bonnysa Agroalimentaria: Murcia-based greenhouse produce grower with significant organic lines and European retail distribution. Comparable on product mix (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, melons) and Mediterranean-climate greenhouse model.
• Caparrós Nature: Almería-based organic produce specialist under the Caparrós group, exporting greenhouse vegetables across Europe. Direct competitor to ECOSUR in Spanish organic tomato, pepper and cucumber categories.
• Grupo Frutas Esther / Frutas Esther: Almería-based producer of greenhouse fruits and vegetables with strong organic positioning and European retail export focus. Closely comparable to ECOSUR on geography, crop mix (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers) and customer base.
• HaciendasBio: Spain's largest organic fruit and vegetable producer, also headquartered in Almería-region Andalusia. Directly comparable as a certified-organic Spanish grower exporting to European retailers; operates at significantly larger scale than ECOSUR.

Others

• Fundación Tecnova: Andalusian agritech R&D center coordinating the OSMAR project in which ECOSUR participates. Comparable as an enabling/ecosystem partner rather than competitor — relevant because it signals ECOSUR's access to public-funded innovation networks.
