Company expects output to increase from 3,000 tonnes to 5,000 tonnes this season
Campo y Tierra expects its cherry production to grow significantly in 2026 after undertaking a business restructuring process lasting more than two years.
After completing a financial restructuring, strengthening its management team and incorporating new members, the cooperative said it expects turnover to reach €20mn this year, up from €13mn in 2025. This will mainly be driven by a sharp increase in the volume of its flagship product, cherries, production of which is set to grow from 3,000 tonnes to 5,000 tonnes. The company currently manages 280ha of its own production and more than 500ha of partner farms. It supplies mainly European retailers, with Germany being one of its core markets.
Campo y Tierra works with over 100 small farmers, who account for approximately 60 per cent of its production, consolidating a model based on long-term relationships and continuous support for producers. In this sense, the company said it not only acts as a distributor but is also progressively expanding its service offerings, including the supply of inputs and new solutions such as foliar application using drones. It employs over 300 people during peak seasons, with plans to reach between 40 and 60 permanent jobs in a more diversified annual activity model.
Looking ahead, the company’s goal is to expand its product portfolio, moving towards a model that combines year-round crops with seasonal products. “All of this is achieved while maintaining a focus on operational efficiency, quality – backed by certifications such as GlobalGAP, Smeta, Grasp Integrated Production, IFS, and BRC – and sustainability, with measures already implemented such as the use of solar energy in its facilities,” it said.
