Once again, the Committee of Organic Agriculture of the Valencian Community (CAECV) returns to the leading international trade fair for the organic sector. This year it does so accompanied by a broad representation of organic companies and with the backing of the public administration, in a firm commitment to organic production, internationalization, and the promotion of the work carried out by farmers, livestock breeders, and operators in this Mediterranean region of Spain.
The sector is strengthening and maturing
The Valencian Community is Spain’s fourth autonomous community in terms of operators and certified area. With 134,728 certified hectares, the utilized agricultural area (UAA) reaches 20.1%, a figure that is above the national average and very close to European targets.
The main crops are nuts, vineyards, and olive groves for oil production. The strong territorial presence in the region is noteworthy: organic production is present in 478 municipalities, representing 88.5% of the region’s territory.
The average age of operators is 58, although there has been a notable increase in the number of young people joining the sector, bringing with them the perspective of new generations. Seven percent of the operators of the CAECV agricultural census are young people aged under 35 years old.
Valencia’s organic production combines sustainability, profitability, and strong regional roots
The data also confirms that organic production provides solutions to the problem of generational renewal. It is also worth mentioning the leadership of women in the sector: 33% Valencian organic farms are run by women.
The region’s organic sector is demonstrating its commitment to professionalization and profitability. Proof of this is the record turnover achieved in the last financial year, which closed with €832.8 million.
This represents a 13% increase compared to the previous year. The EU is the main destination market for the region’s organic products (50%), followed by the domestic market.
Quality, commitment, and a forward-looking vision
Since its foundation in 1994, CAECV has maintained its commitment to supporting and advising local organic farmers, livestock breeders, and operators in inspection, certification, and international representation. With more than 30 years of experience, the organization continues to work to defend the value of organic products, strengthen the guarantees of public organic certification, and uphold a model that positions the Valencian Community as a benchmark.
In this context, 21 Valencian organic companies travel to Nuremberg to showcase the value and potential of the region’s organic products to key players in the European and international markets. With the support of the Regional Ministry of Agriculture of the Generalitat Valenciana, a wide range of representative products from the region will be presented by companies such as L’Olivateria Bio Olives, La Casella, Unión REXI SL, Señoríos de Relleu, Nutxes Organic, Campomar Nature, Herbes del Molí, Bodegas Francisco Gómez, Organic Boosting, Bernal, Naranjas de Cullera, Vegan Milker® Bernal (Valencia), Ecoferti SL, Free Food Tech, Agrícola Marvic SLU, Fundación Oxfam Intermón, Chufas Bou, Excel Food, and GA Torres.
