We currently have a fruit and vegetable center located in the hamlet of San Cayetano, in the municipality of San Javier, and which has the following characteristics:
History
The San Cayetano Agricultural Processing Company (S.A.T. San Cayetano) was officially incorporated on 27 October 1975, bringing together 10 farmers from the municipal district of Torre Pacheco (Murcia) and an initial production of 764 Tm.
Three decades later, the company has become an international reference in fruit and vegetable produce of the highest food quality and safety, whose main product is the pepper.
The evolution of S.A.T. San Cayetano has been spectacular; it currently has 141 members, 2,188 hectares under cultivation and a marketing turnover of 78,000 tonnes of fruits and vegetables, and an annual invoicing figure of around €35M.
The concentration of the offer is one of the objectives that SAT San Cayetano has set itself since its foundation. As a consequence, the company is classified as OPFH in 1987 with number 43.
In keeping with this, the firm has been part of the Grupo Hortiberia, S.A. export consortium for five years, of which it is a founding partner

The investment is close to 3 million euros and it will mean about 4,000 square meters more of amplitude and will have four cold rooms, two for the product coming from the field and another two for the prepared and ready for delivery. An electronic calibrator will also be acquired, the only use of which will be for this type of product.
Destinations
Regarding the destinations of our production, exports are the basic commercial pillar of San Cayetano, since, of the 70,000 tons sold, 75 percent, go to more than a dozen European countries, such as: Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Norway.
Likewise, the national market also represents a notable share, although it does not reach the levels of what was transferred to previous countries.
