Agrícola Famosa
To grow up. This is our nature.
Founded in 1995, Agrícola Famosa is a Brazilian company situated on the border of Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará. During its existence, Agrícola Famosa consolidated its name in agribusiness, characterized for investing in new technologies, for persistent researches, for respecting the environment and for its social commitment.
What initially was a desire to cultivate quality and growing fruit in the midst of the Brazilian Northeast, today had become a diversified production, constant development and the expansion of markets. Ours is a story of effort and dedication, with our almost 9.000 collaborators during the harvest period and a more than 30.000 ha of land, which makes Agrícola Famosa the biggest producer of melon and watermelon of Brazil and one of the biggest in the world.
Infrastructure: Favorable Weather for Exportation
Great Markets, Good Partnerships
Export
During harvest periods, thousands of tons of fruit are exported, mainly concentrated in the British, Dutch, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish markets. In recent years, Agrícola Famosa has projected itself as the largest producer and exporter of fresh fruit in Brazil, constantly expanding its markets. In the current harvest, in addition to the markets already supplied, Agrícola Famosa is expanding its exports to Dubai, Singapore, Russia, Lithuania, the United States, Canada, among others.
Performance
With tens of thousands of productive hectares per year and employing over 9.0000 collaborators, we contribute to the social and environmental development, which is historically unfavorable in the region. Agrícola Famosa has an experienced team of agronomists and agricultural technicians responsible for the production.
