Trops
Located in Vélez Málaga, this region of La Axarquía, SAT the 2803 Trops offers tours to its facilities to show visitors the Culture of Tropical Produce, and, likewise, encourage industrial tourism in the province of Malaga.
Trops is an organisation of tropical fruit producers, mainly avocado and mango, which since 1979 commercialise fruit worldwide, mostly in Europe. A company that operates in international markets, successfully competing at very high service and quality levels. With 20,000 m² of installations, a classification, selection and packaging plant incorporates the latest technologies in different areas of fruit processing.
Visits are held throughout the year, although the time of production covers September to May (in September and October, the mango campaign, and as of November, the avocado campaign).
It is a tour of its facilities, accompanied by audiovisual material. Later, you can see the production floor from the inspection gateway. Once the visit is completed, you can pass the top-class shop where you can find fruit as well as local and regional produce, especially selected for you.
