Agri Terra Orange Plantations: Better than Expected

    LA COLMENA, PARAGUAY, September 15, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "The result for 2018 was about 3% better than originally expected," says Carsten Pfau, CEO of the company. "The citrus trees planted in Paraguay at the La Colmena plantations are already over two-and-a-half meters (8 ft) high on average and are laden with fruit. Plenty of rain, sunshine and optimal climatic conditions have greatly favored the growth of trees and fruit in recent years," continues Pfau.

"The members of our team have been working in the industry for a long time, and their experience is the basis of our success," explains the Agri Terra CEO. Over fifty specialists from the partner company CitriPar are responsible for the planting locally.

The Agri Terra Group has moved up a few ranks on the list of the largest agricultural companies in Paraguay. It is among the top 1% of the largest cattle owners in the country, it is by now the third largest grower of citrus fruit, and the company has the country's single largest greenhouse complex under construction. "We want to continue to grow in this business, and we want to further expand our position as an investor in agriculture. We feel that especially in times of crises, economic and political uncertainties, agriculture offers the best prospects fort he future," says Carsten Pfau regarding the company's strategy.

Sustainability plays a major role for the company. "We have planted more than 250,000 trees in just over two years, which is pertinent to the current climate issue. We have focused more on organic quality in our greenhouses and actively encourage the bee population on and around our properties," says Carsten Pfau.

More good news from Agri Terra may well be expected soon.
