Origin & Territory
Where climate makes the difference
Pampa Blanca is located in the El Carmen Department, Province of Jujuy, in the Argentine Northwest. Its subtropical valleys combine unique climatic conditions that determine the exceptional quality of our citrus fruits.
The sharp daily thermal amplitude, high solar radiation, and controlled water regime allow for optimal external coloration in Valencia Oranges — an essential condition for their Premium marketing and early export to the Northern Hemisphere.
High Solar Radiation
Intense solar radiation that promotes pigment synthesis in the peel, achieving Premium coloration.
Thermal Amplitude
A sharp difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. A key factor for color and flavor development.
Subtropical Andean Valley
Fertile soils from the canyon and valley system of the Argentine Northwest, rich in minerals.
Controlled Irrigation
Responsible water management integrated with the requirements of the GlobalG.A.P. standard.
