This is a trajectory that we will plan together, outlining diagnoses, paths, and improvements.

With the Trilhar Program, we can continue to build a better citrus farming industry together and produce more responsibly. On this journey, we invite partner producers to reinforce their commitment to producing their orchards in a socially and environmentally responsible manner by ensuring adequate working conditions for employees and using natural resources responsibly, ensuring the continuity of their production.
