Behind every Upala Agrícola pineapple, there are people committed to excellence. Therefore, we foster an environment where safety, respect, and human development are fundamental priorities. Certifications and evaluations such as BASC, Esencial Costa Rica, and the 4-pillar SMETA audit support our commitment and allow us to continuously verify that our practices align with our values. We work to generate a positive impact on our employees, their families, and the communities where we operate, convinced that strong relationships, well-being, and growth opportunities are the foundation of sustainable development that transcends our operations.

At Upala Agrícola, we understand that the success of our activity depends on the balance between agricultural production and environmental conservation. Therefore, we implement regenerative agriculture practices that promote ecosystem health, biodiversity protection, and the strengthening of local communities. Our environmental commitment is backed by the Sustainably Grown certification, through which we have earned recognitions as Pioneers in Regenerative Agriculture, Biodiversity Champion, and Community Development. Additionally, we hold the 5-Star Ecological Blue Flag in the Biodiversity category, reflecting our efforts to generate a positive impact and build a more sustainable future for upcoming generations.

At Upala Agrícola, we act with integrity, transparency, and responsibility in every one of our operations. We promote an organizational culture based on ethics, compliance, and trust, strengthening solid relationships with employees, clients, suppliers, and communities. Our commitment is backed by BASC (Business Alliance for Secure Commerce), an international certification that promotes security, transparency, and integrity in the supply chain, and by Esencial Costa Rica, a country brand that recognizes business excellence, sustainability, and contribution to national development. We believe that ethical management is essential to generating sustainable value and strengthening the trust of our stakeholders.

Protecting the health of our consumers is an essential part of our commitment. At Upala Agrícola, we enforce strict food safety and quality controls to ensure that every pineapple reaches its destination safely and reliably. Our BRCGS and GlobalG.A.P. certifications, recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), support our compliance with demanding international standards in food production, handling, and safety—because we believe that our customers' trust is built by offering healthy, safe products produced with the utmost responsibility.
