Pedro Juan

Head of Food Chain Management, Certis Belchim  

Pedro Juan, Head of Food Chain Management for Certis Belchim, is responsible for launching the project Growing for the Future. He and his team worked with producer cooperatives to provide integrated pest management (IPM) programs with a target of growing residue-free produce to meet the demands of European retailers and consumers. The project was born in Almeria in 2012, so with more than 10 years of experience and development, the program has now been extended successfully to cover a wide range of crops, both protected and outdoor, including vegetables, fruit trees, vineyards, citrus and olive groves, and working with growers in Spain, Portugal, Italy and France.
