CONESA BUSINESS MODEL • Whatever is the model regarding products, it is necessary to be very efficient ( and so very sustainable from an economic point of view ). Easier doing mono product. • Regarding the customers profile the business model is based in, sustainability from an economic, social and environmental point of view is more or less important. • Legislation conditions how sustainability is approach.

CONESA FARMING • CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE FARMING/PROCESSING – 403 Has SUSTAINABLE CERTIFIED FARMING WITH THIRDS FARMERS – SUSTAINABLE CERTIFIED PROCESSING FOR PASTE AND DICE – FIRST COMPANY IN SPAIN WITH BOTH CERTIFICATIONS • OWN GREENHOUSE: – Full traceabilty – Accurate transplanting-harvesting program factory at full capacity • 100% FOLLOWING AND ACOMPANIMENT TO FARMERS
FIRST PROCESSING • FACTORY SIZE. The biggest the more efficient. Own experience • DEDICATED LINES Well balanced in terms of capacity ( All elements with the same capacity). Capacity as high as possible regarding market volume for each product DEDICATED UNLOADING SYSTEMS. HB LINES (PREHEATER+PULPER FINISHER+ FLASH COOLER) CB LINES (PREHETATER+PULPER FINISHER+ mechanicalcompres pre-evaporator) LOW BRIX LINES DICES LINES ( EFFICIENT STEAM PEELER + PROPER VARIETIES GOOD FOR PEELING AND DICING). The raw material is the key element. • ALWAYS RUNS THE FACTORY AT FULL CAPACITY. Adjust farming program to every crop requirements • AUTOMATION WHERE POSSIBLE. • ORGANOLEPTIC AND NUTRITIONAL – A stable and optimized process allows to maintain the nutritional values and organoleptic performance
FIRST PROCESSING TOMATO • BRIX LESS TRANSPORT AND PROCESSING COST • As less residues as possible: very efficient pulper/finisher. Depends on product mix. 1% Over 300.000 tons means around 250.000€. • Direct transport from fields to factory ( 90%) • Minimize waiting time ( No more than 4 hours. Better in the field than in the yard. Long field storage varieties very important ). • Efficient unloading and water transportation system • No storing pools¡¡¡¡¡¡ • Sustainable farming
FIRST PROCESSING NATURAL GAS • Direct conecction to gas pipe. • High efficient boilers ( >90%). Big capacity. Continuous water feeding. Combustion exhaust gases recover ( 18% Gas safe) • Always Insulated pipes for steam conduction. • 100% recover of condensate steam. • 100% III effect evaporator. NEVER II or I evaporators. Maintenance crucial. • Efficient preevaporator ( APOLO/16 times less than III efect )
FIRST PROCESSING ELECTRICITY • Inverters . • High efficiency electrical engines above 75Kw. • Runs factory at full capacity
FIRST PROCESSING WATER • WASTE WATER SYSTEM Designed for reusing of water and without the use of pure /chemical O2 Efficient unloading for minimizing water contamination and reducing sand and sludge going to waste water system. Use of no soft varieties to reduce contamination. Minimize waiting times for unloading. • 80% Reuse water. Keeping the right quality. • Cooling towers for water cooling in aseptic vs Chilled water. • Open systems nowhere ( except the 20% of pure water).
