In the heart of Costa Rica, our story is rooted in family values, strong community ties, and a long-term commitment to agriculture. Founded by my father, Claudio Bonilla, our company has been built on hard work, dedication, and lasting relationships. For more than three decades, we have worked together as a team of agricultural professionals to share the fruits of our region with customers around the world. Our mission is to deliver high-quality agricultural products while supporting the people, communities, and farming regions that make our business possible.

As a family-led enterprise, we have built our foundation on enduring values passed down through generations. These values guide every decision we make, from efficient production systems to community engagement initiatives. With operations spread across fertile regions like Ujarrás and Fortuna, we not only promote local development but also provide jobs for nearly 1,000 people in rural Costa Rica, ensuring that our growth benefits those who need it most.

Responsible resource management is an important part of the way we operate. Through practices such as rainwater collection, land rotation, and the use of biological alternatives where appropriate, we continuously work to improve our farming operations. Our facilities are powered in part by solar energy, and we invest in initiatives such as native tree planting and pollinator programmes that support the areas in which we operate. Together, these efforts reflect our commitment to continuously improving our operations and making responsible use of the resources on which our business depends.

Beyond the fields and processing plants, we invest deeply in social responsibility. Initiatives like the Cuyo Bonilla Foundation honor our family’s legacy by supporting families and social aid organizations. Whether providing food donations during the COVID-19 pandemic or launching programs to uplift rural communities, we prioritize people alongside profits, emphasizing that the well-being of employees, farmers, and neighbors is integral to success.

As younger generations take the helm, they bring fresh energy to our mission: to embrace innovation, maintain our high standards, and preserve the family values on which our company was built. Guided by a long-term vision, we aim to continue growing our business while investing in product quality, strong relationships, and continuous improvement throughout our operations.
