The alliance with Bancosol guarantees donations of avocados, mangoes and other products to the neediest families in Málaga throughout 2025
A first shipment of fresh avocados for up to 6,000 families in time for Christmas marks the start of the collaboration
Montosa, leader in the production and commercialization of avocado, mango and guacamole, has signed an extensive
collaboration agreement with the food bank ‘Banco de Alimentos de la Costa del Sol: Bancosol’.
Through this agreement, the company from Málaga undertakes to make regular donations of avocado, mango and other products during 2025. Montosa will also cover the transport of the products to the logistics centres set up by the food bank, guaranteeing food safety until delivery.
“‘We want to add value. We have already done this by donating food and materials to the victims of the DANA in Valencia. Now we want this commitment to be long-term and in our region: Málaga. For us, it is important that this type of action is not just a one-off event, but that it has continuity,’ says Damián Spata, industrial director at Montosa.
A first shipment of freshly harvested domestic avocados for Christmas marks the start of this collaboration. Some 6,000 vulnerable families in Malaga are expected to benefit from this first shipment during the festive season.
‘Because of the value it acquires in the market, the fresh avocado is a premium product that not all families can enjoy. That’s why we want even those who don’t normally savour it to be able to enjoy a top-quality avocado from Málaga during these special dates’, states Marta Sanjuán, general manager at Montosa.
Bancosol is very pleased with this collaboration, which also aims to fight against food waste by providing an outlet for potential production surpluses. ‘I would like to thank Montosa for joining the Bancosol family as a socially responsible company, whose donations will make it possible to help around 30,000 people in vulnerable situations by improving the quality of their food’, said Diego Vázquez, president of Bancosol.
Other aspects included in this framework agreement are to disseminate the initiatives of the Malaga food bank, to set up collection points in Montosa’s facilities and to support the logistical tasks related to these donations.
