Through traditional cultivation (200-300 trees per hectare), this maximum capacity is reached on average in around the sixth year after planting. On intensive plantations (600-1,500 trees per hectare) like ours, this period is shortened, and by the third year, yields are already similar to those of conventional mature farms.

All farms have been designed based on their soil characteristics and criteria of rational and efficient management, implementing highly innovative farming techniques.

The experience gained and the ongoing research conducted, bolstered by the strong prospects enjoyed by the sector in this region, point to a strong future for this business area within Grupo Sociedad Azucarera Larios.

Thanks to our philosophy of innovation and the implementation of state-of-the-art planting techniques, we have managed to tackle one of the main problems of avocado cultivation: root rot caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi.

With the creation of elevated planting ridges and efficient drainage in each of our plots, we have managed to alleviate the problem and obtain great results.

Grupo Sociedad Azucarera Larios is committed to the continuous study and analysis of new practices and the implementation of improvements and capitalisation that we apply horizontally to all the activities we undertake. Currently, our main challenge is to achieve the same level of success attained in thein traditional plantations in our new intensive farming project that we have been developing since 2016.
