The Farm, The producer

The producers take great pride in the project they pioneered - to be the largest and finest Soursop farm in Brazil. The two farms are located in the coastal countryside of the state of Ceara, in the North-east of Brazil, encompassing 140 hectares filled with 35 thousand Soursop trees. The project was initiated 4 years ago observing the most strict standards of non-aggressive technology.

Using state of the art equipment, including irrigation by micro spray and fertirrigation, enables a more rational use of fertilizers, diluted in liquid, over the foliage, thus saving water and not harming the fruit.

Headed by experienced fruit industry men, the project is a joint venture between the Brazilian Frutagro and a Portuguese Enterprise. Under a brand name, our aim is to produce the finest Soursop pulp available in Brazil, taking the leading position as producer, processor and exporter.
