What Las Marismas De Lebrija Sdad Coop.andaluza does

Las Marismas de Lebrija S.C.A. is an Andalusian agricultural cooperative (Sociedad Cooperativa Andaluza) founded on 13 September 1979 by farmers cultivating reclaimed marshland in the Bajo Guadalquivir region near Lebrija, Sevilla, Spain. The cooperative currently manages more than 14,000 hectares of farmland in Sector B-XII, recognized as one of the most productive agricultural zones in Spain and Europe. Its operations are organized around four agricultural product lines—tomato concentrate (processed at a factory with capacity exceeding 5,000 tonnes of fresh tomato per day), cotton (fiber, seeds, and short staple fiber processed in an in-house ginning plant), fresh horticultural produce (carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, onions, sweet potatoes handled at a dedicated processing and packaging center), and cereals and protein crops (wheat, maize, sunflower)—under Integrated Production Systems with GLOBAL GAP traceability. Cotton commercialization is conducted through COALSA, a joint entity formed in 2009 by five cooperatives including Las Marismas.

The cooperative also operates a portfolio of vertical services for its member farmers: more than 50,000 square meters of automated greenhouse nurseries producing horticultural plants in peat plugs, technical agricultural advisory, agronomic inputs and supplies, automated irrigation system design and installation, mechanical repair workshops, a Repsol-branded fuel station, and administrative services covering subsidies processing, insurance, taxation, and telephony. The company is governed by a General Assembly of farmer-members that elects a Governing Board led by President José Tejero Vidal de Torres (re-elected January 2026 for a four-year term). It maintains extensive third-party certifications (BRC, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, Global GAP, Halal, Kosher, IQNet, QS, Nurture, SMETA, Agrocolor) and markets globally via direct B2B relationships and annual participation in the Fruit Attraction trade fair in Madrid.

Revenue is generated through one-time B2B sales of processed tomato concentrate to international food brands, transactional sales of cotton fiber (via COALSA), fresh produce, and cereals, plus member-service revenues from supply, advisory, fuel, and administrative operations. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; all commercial relationships are direct B2B or member-farmer based. The company is privately held with no external parent or investor, has no subsidiaries, and has not raised outside funding.
