Sustainability
Aleia Roses has been acknowledged with the certificate as it strives for a 100% biologically produced crop. IPM and a full set of sustainable strategies are implemented in the greenhouse. Floriculture requires quite large amounts of water, and Aleia Roses has built water reservoirs to recover and store rain water. The water is used in the most efficient way not only due to these reservoirs, but also with the use of the high-quality water of the Duero river and the systems and procedures to reuse the drainage water from the crop.

The greenhouse
The greenhouse, which is located in Soria in the North of Spain, measures almost 15 hectares and makes use of the favorable conditions the region brings along. The entire process, from planting to cutting, combines the power of nature and the latest Dutch technologies implemented in a sustainable manner.

Certificate
To obtain the MPS-GAP certificate, each day a company needs to record how many crop protection agents it uses, when the equipment has been serviced and how it works with the crop. The risk reduction for, and traceability of flowers or plants are important reasons for obtaining the MPS-GAP certificate. The certificate also forms part of MPS-Florimark, the ultimate label for sustainability.
