The BONNY Group is among the Exclusive Partner Farms of the Hamburg-based fruit trading company Port International. The BONNY Group boasts over 270 hectares of cultivation area in the Canary Islands, of which 115 hectares are dedicated to cucumber cultivation. The majority of these cucumbers are destined for the European market. In addition, the company also produces tomatoes, bananas, and blueberries.
"What sets the BONNY Group apart from other producers in the winter season is their high-quality cultivation of cucumbers under the warm Canary sun. The unique climate, with an average annual temperature of 25ยบ Celsius and minimal temperature fluctuations between day and night, offers optimal conditions for plant growth," says distribution partner Port International.
With over 85 years of experience, BONNY understands the importance of commitment and reliability in agriculture. "They supply supermarkets throughout Europe and England and have established themselves as a trusted partner. Regardless of market fluctuations, they adhere to their agreements and always prioritize the needs of their customers. For example, they offer various formats and packaging options, thus meeting specific requirements. Furthermore, as a European producer, BONNY adheres to strict quality and labor standards to ensure that their products comply with the highest industry guidelines."
Sustainability at the forefront
The BONNY Group is committed not only to high-quality products but also to sustainability. Innovative energy solutions, including wind turbines and solar panels, enable them to generate more energy than they consume on the farm and in the packing houses. Moreover, cucumber crops are planted directly into the rich and fertile soil of their land, further minimizing environmental impacts. "With over 1,500 employees, the agricultural company also plays a significant role in the local economy by creating jobs and providing many people with a livelihood. This commitment to the community underscores its status as a responsible and sustainable company."
Ten hectares of cucumbers
The exclusive partnership is a relationship that has been developing for a decade and is now reaching new heights, it is reported. "What began as a simple cucumber trade has evolved into a strong partnership based on trust, communication, commitment, and dedication. The BONNY Group exclusively reserves ten hectares of cultivation area for cucumbers for us. This strategic move ensures a continuous supply of high-quality products during the colder months."
Together with BONNY, Port International wants to further explore sustainable production methods and provide healthy and natural products for consumers across Europe. "It's a partnership that's not just about growing premium products but also about committing to a successful and green future."
