A NEW CONCEPT IN COMPANIES

  AGRICONSA  is a completely new concept within the Canned Fruit & Vegetable and Citrus Juice Manufacturing sectors of the food industry.

  It is born from the spirit of cooperation and striving for improvement involving more than 100.000 growers associated in cooperatives which, for a long time now, have been supplying top quality produce from the fields to the most important national and international markets.

  In AGRICONSA we are in touch with the countryside, developing new crop systems and new varieties, following the development of each harvest, selecting the best fruit and vegetables and picking them just as they reach their best in order to obtain the highest quality in our canned products. At the same time, our cooperative organization means we are guaranteed a sufficient quantity of raw materials to satisfy the needs of our customers.

  These special features mean a new concept in companies and makes AGRICONSA different from the others in the sector as it allows us to integrate agricultural productions processes with industrial and marketing ones to the benefit of our associated farmers and our customers.

NATURAL  ADVANTAGES

  Surrounded by fertile orchards, our factory is situated at Algemesí (Valencia) in the heart of the Valencia Regions, which, due to its soils and climate, has for many yeas been a traditional producer and exporter of fruit and vegetables to Europe and other parts of the world.

 In this natural and socio-economic environment AGRICONSA can be found, located at the centre of an extensive modern road and communications network (the Mediterranean Arc). 30 km from the Port of Valencia –one with very high levels of international traffic- and right next to the A7 Motorway, which links us to the main capitals of Europe.

 The 56 associated cooperatives scattered throughout Spain ensure that AGRICONSA gets the best fruit and vegetables. Our cooperatives in the Valencia Region and Andalucía own over 50% of the Satsuma mandarin oranges produced in Spain, excellent for preserving in segments, and more than 25% of the oranges and other citrics for juice manufacturing. We also have a continuous supply of artichokes throughout the season, beginning with the cooperatives in Alicante, followed by those in Valencia and Castellón, and ending with those in Navarra. Likewise our associates in Lérida and Navarra guarantee us the best peaches and pears from their regions. Finally, the cooperatives in Huelva with their strawberries complete the wide range of agricultural produce which, once obtain from our growers, is transformed in our factory.

Taken as a whole this infrastructure, its privileged geographical position, its nearness to its markets and, above all, the integration of resources and production capacities of its associated cooperatives, give AGRICONSA a natural advantage and important by making it the only company in the sector with these particular features.

CONTROLLED QUALITY FROM START TO FINISH

  AGRICONSA has one of the most modern and sophisticated food-canning and juice factories and uses the most advanced technology.

  In AGRICONSA we are aware that the quality of the products is essential for the satisfying a market which is becoming more and more demanding. But on top of this, the concept of quality is applied to each and every aspect of our organization, not only towards customers but also from within: investments, new planning, production process, commercial relations, distribution, transport, communications with those around us, health and safety at work and environmental protection. This is our commitment: Total Quality.

  AGRICONSA researches, defines and checks what is required from the raw materials and the production process so as to guarantee the quality of our canned goods. The process begins with the work of the Field Supervisors who keep a check on the development of the crops and, along with the cooperatives, coordinate the harvest and delivery of the raw materials in accordance with internal quality regulations. It continues in our factory, where a number of checks are constantly being carried out during the manufacturing process, before the analysis of the finished product. In this way, and in accordance with accepted international regulations, we can offer our customers the best quality.

PEOPLE FOR A COMPANY

  Our greatest assets are the men and women who, by their efforts and dedication day after day, help make AGRICONSA a great company.

  They are the men and women associated in our cooperatives who, with their work and commitment, give themselves the task of obtaining the best fruits from the earth. They are almost 600 employees who distinguish themselves by the way they carry out their work and by the daily improvement of their duties. They are also the qualified professional staff in charge of coordinating the different areas of the company: production, research and quality control, marketing and administration.

A feature of our collective is its commitment to teamwork and its urge to excel. They are people who are prepared to face challenges with the guarantee of success.

OUR PARTNERS: THE CUSTOMERS

OUR AIM: TO OFFER SERVICE AND QUALITY

  The success of AGRICONSA is, without any doubt, the success of its customers. For this reason we direct all our efforts towards satisfying their needs, always offering them the quality and service they look for and demand. 

 For this reason, in AGRICONSA we are in permanent contact with them, making numerous business trips and visiting them personally. We also take part in the main international foods fairs (Anuga, Sial, Alimentaria, Ife, Fancy Foods, Foodex…) so that at any moment we can adapt ourselves to their needs and to market trends. 

 Our view of the future leads us to establish long-term and stable relations of confidence and mutual collaboration. Our greatest concern is to try to make them feel satisfied and integrated within the project of bringing together agricultural production, industrial transformation and distribution, so that the products arrive directly from the field into hands of the consumer.
