Unexport, 20% of turnover now organic

The Murcian export consortium continues to increase its range of organic products each year in response to the demands of its main customers. Lettuce, little gem, cauliflower, broccoli, citrus, bell pepper, courgette and cucumber are the main varieties with organic certification. Today, Unexport offers more than 40 products from all of the main categories produced in Spain. It has an annual turnover of about €70 million, 18 producer partners and 23 employees. “Our turnover is growing by 7-10% a year,” said consortium president Domingo Llamas. Unexport supplies all European markets, while 10-15% of volumes are shipped to other destinations.
