Advisors

Almond Grove was founded as a spin-off of IRTA, with the aim of offering tailored solutions to the specific needs of the almond industry.

Although we are a young company, we have accumulated over a decade of leadership in almond advisory services across the Iberian Peninsula.

Since 2010, in collaboration with IRTA, we have worked with growers, companies, and investment funds, providing solutions adapted to each case.

Today, we collaborate with the most prominent companies in the industry, positioning ourselves as a benchmark in Spain and Portugal.
