Spanish agricultural and biotechnology sector developments

Overview

The Spanish agricultural sector is experiencing corporate expansion and restructuring. Torribas, through its Finca Mitjana division, has partnered with the Cádiz-based company Finca El Tractor to expand its operations into the Guadalquivir Valley. This partnership adds 200 hectares of cultivated land, allowing the company to diversify its production beyond potatoes, onions, and calçot to include sweet potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and beets. The move is intended to mitigate climate-related production risks and extend production periods across the Iberian Peninsula.

In the biotechnology sector, the Sant Feliu de Llobregat-based firm IN VITRO has undergone a change in shareholding. Following its 40th anniversary, Alex Weil has become the primary shareholder, with Nicolas Nagy serving as CEO. The company, which specializes in in vitro plant cultivation for agriculture and forestry, plans to focus on research and development and internationalization.
