Llanes has invited the Andalusian agricultural sector in general and the cranberry sector, in particular, to "sell as if it were an emotion, as they really are for its quality and healthy qualities, that's why it has to be sold as an added value" .

Behind this strategy, the truth is that Andalusia has managed to put itself at the top of the national agrifood sector with 30% of production and 25% of sales, surpassing Catalonia and Valencia, Llanes pointed out. In this scenario, Huelva is a leader in both the red fruit sector and, among them, the cranberry.

The 90% of the Andalusian production of cranberry is located in Huelva, which also represents the 80% of the national, and "the bet is that this sector continues to grow exponentially in view of the evolution that mark the European consumer markets and with the prospect of opening doors in China.
