The important farming capacity of the company enables it to
guarantee its peanuts. The producer controls all the process
from the seed farming to the finished product. They receive,
clean, dry and store the inshells from the fields. Recently
built, opened in June 2010, the new processing plant is one
of the most modern plants that are currently in operation in
Argentina.
The plant has a daily capacity of 350 tonnes of peanuts (HPS),
producing high quality product and virtually free of foreign
materials and meeting the highest quality demands of the
international market. The facilities include a storage
capacity of more than 75.000 tonnes of
peanuts and an extensive conditioning and
drying plant.
The first step in the production chain is the Agricultural
Department, formed by agronomists with great experience in
farming peanuts in association with top level producers.
The farming is produced mainly in the South of Cordoba. In
recent years, our supplier has focussed in the improvement
of its farming operation, implementing the seed elaboration
process in an independent plant, in order to segregate and
process pure seed.
As a result, the aim is to have pure seed and 100% high
oleic peanuts in their own plantings, obtaining better
agronomic performance in quality and quantity.
When the process is finished, the peanuts are stored in cold
warehouses to keep its quality unchanged. The complete
process is done under strict quality and safety measures,
implemented under the HACCP system. This processing plant has the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Certification.
To conclude, the product is shipped to our own shipping
terminal or to our blanching facilities, located both in
Florencio Varela, Province of Buenos Aires, near the Port of
Buenos Aires.
Our supplier
is one
of the most important producers, processors and shippers of
Argentine peanuts. The processing plant is located in
Cordoba Province. |
