Sustainability

Sustainability

The fruit and vegetables company Escobar Reyes has introduced various strategies to reduce its CO2 emissions and is recognised for its commitment to sustainability and the environment. One of the main measures adopted in this regard is the local production of products. 90% of the products the company sells are grown no more than 20 km away from its facility in El Ejido, Almería. This proximity guarantees that the products will be fresh and also significantly reduces transportation CO2 emissions.

Escobar Reyes has also invested in solar energy to cover almost all of its energy consumption. The company has installed solar panels at its facility to generate clean, renewable energy, decrease its dependence on fossil fuels and reduce its carbon footprint.

These initiatives reflect Escobar Reyes’ commitment to environmental protection and sustainability. They also demonstrate that it is possible to combine high quality agricultural production with responsible practices that respect the surrounding area.

Hnos Escobar Reyes S.L.

For Escobar Reyes S.L., sustainability is a priority that is reflected in every aspect of our agricultural operations.
We have implemented various practices to ensure that our production processes respect the environment and are beneficial to the community.

Cultivation using biological control technologies

We use biological control methods to manage pests in our crops. This involves the use of living organisms, such as beneficial insects, to help keep the natural equilibrium and reduce the need for chemical pesticides. This practice protects both our crops and the natural environment, whilst also supporting biodiversity and soil health.

Efficient use of water

We have adopted advanced soil moisture control systems to optimise water use on our farms. These systems allow us to accurately monitor and adjust irrigation procedures to ensure that each plant receives the exact amount of water it needs. This practice conserves this vital resource and also improves crop health and yield.

Monitoring nutrients

We constantly monitor the soil and leaves to ensure that our plants receive enough nutrients. This detailed analysis enables us to efficiently and accurately apply fertilisers to ensure plants receive the necessary nutrients without exceeding the required amount. This practice reduces environmental impact and improves the quality of our products.

Las Chozas Environmental Services

Escobar Reyes works with Las Chozas Environmental Services, a leading agricultural waste treatment company. We turn this waste into compost to complete the production cycle and return nutrients to the soil naturally. This collaboration reduces waste, improves soil fertility and supports sustainable agricultural practices.

Commitment to Sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in each of these practices. Whether it be biological controls, efficient water use, monitoring nutrients or managing waste, at Escobar Reyes we continually strive to minimise our environmental impact and support more sustainable and responsible agriculture.
