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. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-28: Torribas expands Spanish agricultural operations into the south Catalan producer Torribas is expanding into Spain’s Guadalquivir Valley through a partnership with Finca El Tractor, adding 200 hectares to increase crop diversity and mitigate climatic risks. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/torribas-expands-spanish-agricultural-operations-into-the-south ### 2026-09-17: Spanish agricultural and biotech firms announce expansions and leadership changes Torribas expands its agricultural footprint into the Guadalquivir valley via Finca El Tractor, while biotechnology firm IN VITRO undergoes a management and ownership change. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/spanish-agricultural-and-biotech-firms-announce-expansions-and-leadership-changes --- Cite as: Spanish agricultural and biotechnology sector developments.
