Our History

In 1991, a family business dedicated to the production of melons and watermelons for export was born. For over 30 years, we have been committed to delivering excellent quality fruits to our customers, thanks to our knowledge, experience, and good agricultural practices.

We have modern facilities, a highly trained agricultural technical team, and dedicated staff. The certifications obtained and the satisfaction of our customers confirm our commitment to excellence.

Seven years ago, we began replacing agrochemicals with biological products produced in our own facilities, with the aim of making our activities more sustainable.

Thanks to these efforts, for the past two years, the soils of our farms have been free of pesticides, and we have reduced the use of chemical products by 60%.

Our Facilities

At Melones de la Península, we have created an efficient and safe work environment, allowing us to carry out all processes in an orderly manner for the well-being of our collaborators.

Our sizer is an automated system for selecting melons by weight and size, designed to ensure maximum precision and efficiency.
