Hortifrut has obtained Leaf Marque certification for its farms in Morocco and Peru (Trujillo and Olmos), expanding coverage in the EMEA and America regions and significantly increasing the availability of Leaf-certified berries for European markets.

Leaf Marque (Linking Environment and Farming) certification is a globally recognised standard that guarantees compliance with strict sustainability criteria in agricultural production, ensuring the protection of biodiversity, the efficient use of resources and the well-being of local communities.

“Leaf certification in Morocco and Peru is a reflection of Hortifrut’s strong commitment to sustainability and the implementation of advanced agricultural technologies that minimize environmental impact,” said the company’s director of corporate affairs, María Elena Echenique.

“At Hortifrut we work with passion and excellence to ensure that our practices are responsible and sustainable at every stage of the value chain, guaranteeing environmental conservation and the development of resilient agricultural communities.”

Marion Tabard, CEO of Horifrut for the EMEA region, commented: “With Leaf certification in Morocco and Peru, almost all of our supply to European retailers now comes from certified farms. This achievement reinforces our ability to offer our customers a stable supply of fruit grown under the highest sustainability standards, meeting market expectations and promoting responsible agricultural practices throughout our value chain.”
