A cornerstone of Murcia’s agriculture
In the sun-drenched fields of Murcia, Spain, lettuce is more than a crop, it’s a cornerstone of the agricultural economy. With over 35,000 hectares under cultivation, largely for export, growers face intense pressure to deliver high-quality produce while navigating evolving pest, disease and weed threats, regulatory changes, and water scarcity.
We don’t just recommend products, we show how they work, often in the farmer’s own field. As a result, we build confidence: confidence in the solutions, in the advice, and in the relationship. If you give bad advice, you lose the farmer, but when they see the results, they include our products in their protocols, and that’s a real success for them as well as for us.

Technical advice that speaks the grower’s language
For these growers, often large-scale operations managing hundreds or even thousands of hectares, the support of Certis Belchim’s technical advisors is not just helpful, it’s essential. Juan José Pastor, a technical advisor and farmer himself, works closely with these producers, offering tailored crop protection programmes that combine biological and chemical solutions.
“I am the connection between the company and the farmers,” he explains. “I understand their problems because I live them too.”
Staying resilient with the right tools
