Its farm at Paraje El Hornillo in the Bajo Guadalquivir covers about 35,000 m², including 10,000 m² of greenhouses.

Grows a premium fruit (Japanese-variety strawberries) indoors, far from the fruit's native climate, and sells it under its own brand at premium prices, the closest match to Ecofruits growing dragon fruit in greenhouses in Spain.

GGotham Greens
United States · www.gothamgreens.com ↗
Runs its own greenhouses and sells branded fresh produce to retailers, the same greenhouse grower-seller model, though with greens rather than fruit (the only published total, $440M, mixes in debt, so the equity part could not be pinned down).
