The Association of Horticulturalists, Fruit Growers, and Floriculturists of the Odemira and Aljezur Municipalities (AHSA) has expanded its network by adding three new members and two new partners. The new members include Hortifrut, ByBlue Innovation, and Masiá Ciscar, bringing the total number of associates to over 40. The new partners are Median and Iberpower, extending the association's partner network to more than 20.
