Bell peppers are our flagship and our proving ground. The specification below is what we are building the operation to meet for our first export season into Spain.
Blocky, thick-walled fruit selected for shelf life and transport, grown in protected structures for the early window and in open field for main-season volume.
Figures describe the specification we are building to for the first season, agreed with our buyer — not historic yields.
Picked at colour break by trained crews, crated by parcel and lot.
Field heat removed within hours of harvest to protect firmness.
Sorted to size and colour, packed to the buyer's carton format.
Temperature-controlled road transport, logged end to end.
Documentation and lot traceability handed over with the pallet.
Added as acreage, irrigation and packing capacity allow — each one chosen for the same buyers.
Greenhouse trusses for the same export window and buyer base.
Fast rotation between pepper cycles, using the same drip infrastructure.
Summer volume crop suited to the plain's soil and heat.
Short-cycle plantings to keep crews and packing lines occupied off-season.
On-site processing once the herd and cooling facilities are in place.
