Plum Tomatoes
Few tomato references move as much volume through the European wholesale channel as the plum tomato. Its elongated shape and firm flesh have made it the everyday tomato in professional kitchens, central markets and the value tomato shelf in retail. Hortiberia markets it loose from the group's growers in south-eastern Spain, in both conventional and certified organic production.

Full product sheet
Supply calendar
Plum tomatoes are available every month of the year: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December. Continuous supply across twelve months is what distinguishes one supplier from another in this reference, since the buyer needs sustained volume week after week rather than occasional availability.
Sizes and packing
Sizes MM, M, G and GG are handled. There is a single, straightforward pack built for fast rotation:
- Loose 6 kg cardboard box, 120 boxes per Euro pallet and 140 per 100×120 pallet.
This is the box central-market wholesalers and food service operators expect to find, and they move it without repacking. Retail customers who need another presentation can discuss it within a specific programme once volumes and calendar are defined.
Transport and guarantees
Recommended transport temperature is 7-8 °C. Plum tomatoes travel well, but they should not be loaded cold or left at ambient temperature at the platform, as both shorten shelf life at destination. The group's growers operate under GLOBALG.A.P. and IFS or the equivalent standards demanded by retail, with traceability by lot and plot and compliance with EU rules on residues, plant protection products and labelling. The organic line carries EU certification.
For the wholesale channel, Hortiberia works plum tomatoes on weekly schedules that allow short-notice volume adjustments, which in this reference counts for as much as price.
