With support and technologies, producer achieves leap in the quality of table oranges

Citrus farming is one of the most dynamic activities in agriculture and table oranges are a good alternative in this increasingly heated market. However, to guarantee good profitability it is necessary to produce high standard fruits. Paying attention to this segment, Coopercitrus has encouraged rural producers to invest in precision agriculture to improve fruit quality with efficiency and high productivity.

A reference in the production of oranges for the table, the company Sanhaço Agropastoril, from Avaré, SP, found a strong ally in the Coopercitrus team of experts to produce high quality fruits and this partnership has generated good results.

The quality of the fruit depends on a series of factors related to its intrinsic conditions and manipulations during all stages of cultivation. To achieve the desired results, the company invests in improvements throughout the production process, from soil care, using georeferenced analysis, through Geofert Coopercitrus, to its correction with the application of inputs in the right dosages. All of these actions are constantly monitored by Coopercitrus experts, who provide guidance on good management practices and harvest planning, indicating the best inputs, technologies and strategies for more precise and profitable cultivation.

The company's general manager and responsible for the fruit growing area, Aloízio Lino de Souza, attests to the quality of the cooperative's service: “The company already had an interesting productivity, but needed technical support to better manage production, not just increase productivity, but the quality of the fruit and all management. The quality of the skin is very important for table fruit and technology has been an important factor in obtaining this result, with the application of inputs in the right dosage and at the right time”, he highlights.

With a complete portfolio of products, technology services and technical support with experts, Coopercitrus continues to strengthen citrus growers, ensuring the best opportunities and the solution of the main challenges, with excellent cost-benefit.
