The plant
Baika Plant Spain · Vélez-Málaga
Our plant is in Vélez-Málaga, in La Axarquía, and has been ripening fruit since 2002. They are 4,000 m² where all the flow occurs in the same place: reception, selection, calibration electronic, bulk packaging, mesh and flowpack, cold and ripening.
The fruit does not break the cold chain within the plant: six cold chambers and seven ripening, all with controlled temperature, from reception to exit to the client. Transport is controlled with thermographs.
We trace by lot and batch, from the producer and his harvest area to the client final.
