Producing vegetables year-round requires much more than following a crop management program. It requires constant adaptation, consistent management, and decisions that help maintain crop quality even when conditions change.

Located in Cartago, Costa Rica, Grupo MZ Agropecuario has spent more than 40 years building a production model focused primarily on carrots and potatoes, supplying both local and export markets through a production system that combines generations of farming experience, technical expertise, and modern agricultural technologies.

The company began under the leadership of its founder through a conventional farming model focused primarily on carrot production. Today, a new generation led by Otto and Federico Montero continues that legacy by integrating new tools and management practices aimed at sustaining productivity, quality, and long-term operational stability.

For them, carrying the family business forward is about much more than earning a living. It also means honoring years of effort, protecting what has been built, and continuing to evolve the way they farm.

“For us, carrying the legacy forward is not only how we make a living, but also a way to honor all the work and effort invested over many years,” says Federico Montero.

Sustainability is part of the decisions they make every day. The company strives to maintain a balance between productivity, environmental responsibility, the well-being of the people involved in the operation, and the economic sustainability that allows the business to keep moving forward.

Currently, Grupo MZ Agropecuario uses GotaBlanca 500 from planting through harvest as part of a preventive management strategy focused on mitigating and reducing disease pressure in both soil and foliage.

Applied at 2 liters per hectare, GotaBlanca 500 helps support the crop throughout the season while reducing chemical load and providing an additional layer of protection for quality, productivity, and long-term crop performance.

Beyond a single application, their management approach focuses on sustaining a farming system capable of remaining productive over time while responding to both operational demands and the need to care for the environment where production takes place.

“When we take care of the environment, the people involved, and the crop itself, the result is a quality product,” explains Otto Montero.

The experience of Grupo MZ Agropecuario shows how decisions guided by knowledge, experience, and a long-term vision can directly influence crop quality and the sustainability of production.

Because in farming, good decisions are also harvested.
