SOL DE BADAJOZ, SL is a familiar company born out of the dexterity and experience of its founder Francisco José Escobar Benítez, who, with the assistance of a skilled team managed to create one of the most prestigious agribusiness in Spain.
Our path in the farming sector is initiated with the creation of the first company FRUTAS E HORTALIZAS JEB, SL, in 1997, in Valdivia, located in the Vegas Altas of the river Guadiana. In these facilities, we already had technology that allowed the handling and conservation of our products, which allowed us to start exporting to countries like Portugal, France, Italy and Germany. Keeping up with our growth, we invested in buying and renting agricultural fields, where we sowed the most appreciated plants in the domestic and international markets.
