Agromais Plus Comércio Serviços Agrícolas S.A

In the 1980s, storage and marketing were monopolies of the EPAC (Empresa Pública de Abastecimento de Cereais), which meant that commercial activity in the cereal sector did not exist. With Portugal joining the EEC, this scenario changed and it was therefore necessary to organize production. It was in this context that AGROMAIS emerged in 1987.

In a joint effort by the region's farmers, collective drying and storage structures were created, a technical field support team was set up and the commercialization of production was professionalized, all this simultaneously with the professional training of agricultural producers, who joined the project en masse.

By the end of the 1980s, AGROMAIS was already the largest cereal producer organization in the country.

With the increase in production costs and the general fall in the prices of maize and other cereals, there was a need to encourage the emergence of alternative crops, such as potatoes for industry, broccoli, tomatoes, peppers, peas, onions, pumpkins, barley for the brewing industry and corn for popcorn.

These changes gave rise to new investment needs and a permanent effort to adapt to major market trends, with the entire production being commercialized collectively, through direct negotiation between AGROMAIS and its customers, mainly the agro-industry and large distribution. .

All our evolution is, therefore, the result of the associative spirit, organization and capacity for technical evolution of the producers in the region, who have equipped their fields with the technologies necessary for the requirements of each culture.
