Manuel Segura is Comercial Director of Costa de Níjar.

This company of Almería has 135 partners who control an extension of 330 hectares of greenhouses with a commercial supply of 48,000 tons of tomato and watermelon.

Tomato is its main product with 36,000 tons and it also has 12,000 tons of watermelon. The company works in the development of the line of tomato and for this reason has been joined in the O.D. “Tomate de la Cañada-Nijar”.

The destinations of the products of the company are centred on the EU (France, Italy, Holland, Germany and United Kingdom, among others), Canada, the United States and Countries of the East.

Also the company is betting so much on the ecological production. The commercialization of this product in this campaign will reach approximately 1,200 tons of tomato. However, «the increase of the crop surface (70 hectares authorized) will increase the production until the 5,000 tons», said from the company.
