Agricultural sectors

Cereals

The production of corn, wheat, and barley, as well as alfalfa and rapeseed, plays a crucial role in our agricultural operations, occupying soils with high productive potential:


  • - 5875 tons of corn/year (450 ha)
  • - 400 tons of wheat/year

We innovate with the “Minimum Soil Tillage” system, preparing the soil only in the line where the cereal is sown.

Industrial Horto

The production of horticultural industries (potato and pea) is of great importance in our agricultural operations and occupies soils with high productive potential:


  • - 2,200 tons of potatoes/year (55 ha)
  • - 875 tons of peas/year (125 ha)

Forestry

In numbers:


- Cork oak (2,750 ha) – 13,000 @/year

- Pine (300 ha)

- Eucalyptus (1,350 ha)


Prevention and maintenance:


  • - Irrigation;
  • - Local partnerships to prevent forest fires;
  • - Livestock grazing under cork oak montado.

Livestock

Our extensive sheep and cattle meat production is developed under a silvopastoral system.


They graze extensively, mainly in cork oak montado:


  • - 900 Cattle for meat production
  • - 2300 Sheep for meat production

Tradition in

Agricultural production

At times where cost reduction becomes essential, Quinta da Lagoalva has used its efforts and long based experience to market and implement mobilization and conservation tillage by balancing savings on one hand and good agricultural practices on the other.

Trademarks like Unverferth and Horsch have established a worldwide difference based on their quality, reliability and technically revolutionary solutions in the conservation and precision farming areas.

The farmer’s profitability is based on a balanced use of all the factors of production.

Conservation tillage for more sustainable farming in this scenario is an important ally as it can conciliate innumerous cost reductions. We should just bear in mind that if it is possible to reduce the number of passages with multiple implements we will be saving many hours of tractor and liters of expensive diesel fuel. If we add to these savings the organic matter that we store in our soils, as well as the increasing the capacity of water retention, we can envision a reduction of operational costs and a consequent increase in the margins, making both a sustainable management of our holdings.

Consulting

Quinta da Lagoalva also provides technical advisory services in all its areas of activity.

This consultancy plays a significant role in the company's technical structure and currently extends not only to Portugal but also to Africa and Central Europe.
