Crop Protection
With over 90 years of experience, IQV is a leader in plant health and a specialist in copper- and metalaxyl-based fungicides.

IQV has 3 production plants in Spain and operates through subsidiaries in Portugal, Italy, and Turkey.
Advanced Irrigation
A pioneer in drip irrigation in the Iberian Peninsula since 1980, Regaber is a leading company in advanced irrigation solutions. It designs and installs its own systems for various types of crops, distributes products from specialized companies, and offers services in irrigation modernization, landscaping, automation, and canal control.

Farm modernization
TerraNostra is a farm modernization project for medium-sized farms (35 to 50 ha.) driven by Cerestia to boost agricultural productivity. It leases farmland and transforms it by applying the group’s technologies in irrigation, plant health, and digitalization, with a practical, profitable, and sustainable approach. Its goal: to revitalize rural areas and encourage generational renewal.
