Sowing, Maintenance and Harvest

Beginning from the seedling, Citrex identifies all the the information concerning the limes ( including sowing, production applications and irrigation ) and keeps it in a unique data base that is administered and monitored by qualified personal.

The system allows for traceability of the fruit according to these criteria:

• Sector

• Lot number

• Method of sowing and maintenance

• Applied treatments

• Date of harvest

Cutting-Edge Technology

AUTOMATED FERTIRRIGATION SYSTEM

Citrex uses water from its own wells and controls the irrigation process with a tank and filters that permit the use of drip irrigation and fertirrigation to obtain the greatest number of flowers and the optimum quality of fruit throughout the year.

Process Post-Harvest
Packing and Storage

Upon harvesting, Citrex washes, dries, waxes and packs the limes in compliance with hygiene and other requirements of the most demanding markets. Immediately after processing, the fruit is carefully packed and placed in a cold storage that maintains the ideal temperature for suspending the maturation process. Limes are then shipped in refrigerated containers at the same temperature, so that the fruit comes to market with exactly the color and appearance that consumers prefer.

Traceability

Citrex maintains a strict traceability control so that management can quickly identify and correct any issue that might arise.
