The Valencian company Grupo Clasol has joined forces with the Andalusian company Frutas Sol y Sabor to create Clasol Bio SL, a new firm devoted to organic citrus fruit production.
With this step, Grupo Clasol strives to meet the growing demand for organic products by offering a wider range to its clients. The group has 250 hectares of own land, with 187 hectares devoted to organic orange crops, as well as a warehouse in Palma del Río, and it is positioning itself as a supplier of organic citrus, offering a complete range of products to its clients.
"For years, Sol y Sabor has been our almost exclusive supplier of organic citrus. Now, we have decided to go a step further with Clasol Bio, which will be owned and run by both parties, both for the marketing and production management, integrating all the steps within the group," says César Claramonte, CEO of Grupo Clasol.
The seven and a half million kilos of organic oranges that the new company can supply are divided into different varieties: Navelina, Salustiana, Navel Late, Navel Powel, Valencia Late and Navel Cara Cara, thus covering the entire supply schedule.
"This production volume not only meets the market's current needs, but also serves as confirmation of the group's commitment to organic agriculture and guarantees the production of high quality citrus fruits grown under strict organic standards," says César Claramonte.
This new venture underlines Grupo Clasol's continued progress and development. The group had already integrated the San Alfonso cooperative this year and already has 2,750 hectares of crops and expects its turnover to reach 240 million euros in the 24/25 financial year.
"We started the operational integration with San Alfonso in July this year, so it could be said that this citrus season will be the first with the group being responsible for 100% of sales, and the same can be said about the management of the production and the facilities. This season is going to be a great challenge," says César Claramonte.
