Social Responsability


We are a company founded in 1985 located in San Juan Sacatepéquez, Guatemala. We work with groups of farmers who base their economic activity on agriculture as the main source of income and at the same time allocate part of the land to plant corn and beans for family food and nutritional security. The main crops of San Juan Agroexport are: snow peas, sweet peas, and French beans.

Employees

Our success depends as much on an effective and efficient relationship with our clients as with our collaborators.

The San Juan AgroExport team, which has more than 500 employees divided into 6 departments, is regularly trained not only on current business issues, but we also reinforce topics such as food and nutritional safety, self-esteem, gender, first aid, among others.

Within our facilities we have an entertainment room that includes an armchair and different games in which employees can be distracted and reduce stress.

Environmental Protection


We promote environmental protection through integrated agricultural practices, such as better use of chemicals, crop rotation, and proper waste management.

 

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

We are committed to the production, processing and marketing of fresh vegetables through an environmental management system that guarantees the protection of our environment with actions aimed at minimizing the negative impact.

 

San Juan AgroExport is highly committed to complying with national and international environmental legal requirements, the agreements signed with interested parties, effective communication and continuous improvement of our environmental performance.
