Nutrifarms, an agricultural company belonging to the Sovena Group , has partnered with Cerestia, a MatHolding company, to develop and implement solutions aimed at increasing the efficiency, profitability, and sustainability of olive and almond production.

The agreement foresees the development of solutions adapted to the characteristics of Nutrifarms' farms, reinforcing the company's commitment to innovation and the adoption of new agricultural practices and technologies.

Cerestia will assume the role of strategic partner, bringing together solutions in the areas of plant health, biostimulation, precision irrigation, digitalization and modernization of agricultural production.

Nutrifarms' farms will be used as spaces for experimentation and development in a real-world context. Through this approach, it will be possible to test tools and technologies based on the specific needs of the farms and evaluate their impact on operational efficiency and production.

“ This agreement with Cerestia will allow us to accelerate knowledge acquisition so that we can continue to advance on our path to maximum efficiency and sustainability ,” says Vasco Cortes Martins, General Manager of Nutrifarms.

Responding to the challenges of the sector

The partnership emerges in a context marked by the effects of climate change, water scarcity, increased production costs, and pressure on agricultural margins.

For Nutrifarms, the incorporation of knowledge and technology is, in this scenario, essential to increase the efficiency and sustainability of production. The collaboration also aims to generate knowledge that can later be applied by other operators in the sector.

The agreement was signed by Vasco Cortes Martins and Candi Cervera, general director of Cerestia Iberia, during the Fruit Attraction event in Madrid.
