Farming

Our passion starts from the soil.

Quality, food safety and traceability are the foundation of every lasting relationship with our customers, and they begin in the field. That is why HERBIOTECH combines its own farmland with long-term partnerships with local farmers.

We own and cultivate our own agricultural land, certified organic by Ecocert since 2013, and we work hand in hand with local farmers in Tunisia and Portugal, across a variety of regions in both countries.

Sowing, hoeing, weeding and harvesting are carried out with modern mechanized equipment. Delicate crops are weeded and handled by hand by our skilled local teams, who work in the region where they were born.

Whether grown on our land or by our partners, every crop is integrated into our value chain and supervised at each stage by the HERBIOTECH team, following a weekly plan and daily records. This gives our customers complete traceability, back to the field.

Our customers are always welcome to visit our farms and share their feedback. We also invite independent international experts, appointed by HERBIOTECH or by our customers, to help us continuously improve our practices and the quality of our raw materials.

Organic crops in the field, Our passion starts from the soil.

Every drop counts.

We pay close attention to water resources. Most of our fields are drip-irrigated, which delivers water directly to the roots and allows a responsible use of groundwater.

Sprinkler irrigation is limited to the cooler months of the year and to specific crops that require it.

Organic crops in the field, Every drop counts.

Healthy soils make better crops.

Soil health, structure and fertility are essential prerequisites for successful harvests and sustainable agricultural practices. Our goal is to build soil biodiversity.

That is why we rely on stable, balanced compost, rich in beneficial bacteria and fungi. We source clean, nutrient-rich manure locally, and produce high-quality, homogeneous compost with a compost turner, under rigorous control of moisture and temperature throughout the composting process.

We also choose compost over green manure, which helps us save precious irrigation water.
