A short lesson in lemon-growing

摘要

"Until 1994, the company belonged to S.A. San Miguel," explains Jorge Seleme, director of the Veracruz company. There were nine of us, all of us farmers, and we were suppliers for San Miguel - we were among the founders, in fact. Our family planted the first lemon tree for San Miguel in 1927. We started off in lemon-growing with the aim of supplying the fresh-fruit market. There has been a processing industry here too since 1963. As I said, I became self-employed in the year 1994." This was when thepacking house was built on Ruta 301 outside Tucumán. Seleme subsequently found other customers.
