Mendoza is one of the best zones in the world for the development of organic agriculture –experiencing such a boom in Europe and the USA-, and with very attractive costs. |

Mendoza offers unequal conditions to grow all kinds of crops. Due to the climatic characteristics of the region, with low rainfall and more than 320 sunny days per year. The possibility to cultivate in virgin growing areas allows us to take advantage of the purity of the land, which has not been mistreated by men. In addition to this, the irrigation water comes directly, or filtering through the minerals of the Andes Mountain Range, from the melting water of the abundant winter snowfalls.

In Mendoza there are good soils, a lot of sun and enough water. But we must not forget that in future times, with global warming, we could have some difficulties. Being near the Andes Mountain Range with its favoring snow and water is a great advantage. Likewise, the climatic conditions of this zone -particularly its sun- make us avoid curing the plants, whether these are vines or fruit trees. For this reason, our crops are practically organic. I am convinced that Mendoza has a prosperous future and that good investments can be made here, just defining what we want to do, its potential, and also the markets we want to reach developing high quality.
