our snacking tomatoes havenothing to blushabout
For more than 30 years, Azura Group has been dedicated to cultivating goodness — for everyone and for the Earth. And thanks to our commitments, our carbon footprint is far smaller than you might think. See for yourself!
Azura’s snacking tomatoes have a carbon footprint
1.5
times
lower than that of winter-grown European produce, which relies on heated and/or artificially lit greenhouses.
How is that possible?
Our low-energy greenhouses help reduce our environmental footprint
Grown in Morocco under favourable climate conditions, our snacking tomatoes have a carbon footprint at least 1.5 times lower than that of winter-grown European produce, which relies on heated and/or artificially lit greenhouses.
Our waste?
Clean as can be!
First of all, 100% of our production waste is recycled and recovered. And what about organic waste? Since January 2024, we've been transforming it into compost and SRF (Solid Recovered Fuel), which is used as an energy source by local cement manufacturers.
And what about water?
The Azura Group has received
AWS (Alliance for Water Stewardship)
certification for its snacking tomatoe production.
By contracting 100% of its water needs from desalinated sources in Agadir, Azura minimizes reliance on fragile groundwater reserves.
Our Commitments for the Future
Azura is committed to a clear path toward reducing its carbon footprint

Production
We are gradually reducing our inputs through biological treatments, notably with the help of Biobest Morocco, which supports natural pollination (bumblebees) and pest control within our crops.
-
HARVESTING
Harvesting takes place as early as possible to avoid the heat. Once picked and sorted by batch, the snacking tomatoes are quickly transported to the packing station for packaging.
