The partnership between Elaisian and Costiera Agrumi De Riso is strengthened with a major investment in advanced technology. We are excited to announce the installation of 5 new Elaisian stations along the Amalfi Coast, adding to the 5 already existing ones, bringing the total to 10 stations. This expansion will allow Costiera Agrumi to monitor and manage their crops with even greater precision, guaranteeing the highest quality production of lemons.
Costiera Agrumi: An Excellence of the Amalfi Coast
Costieragrumi De Riso was founded in 1927 in Minori, in the heart of the Amalfi Coast. For three generations, the company has dedicated itself with passion and expertise to the cultivation of lemons, following traditional methods that guarantee the production of healthy, natural fruit. Being part of the Consorzio di Tutela ‘Limone Costa d’Amalfi I.G.P.’ and IS.ME.CERT. certified, Costiera Agrumi is synonymous with excellence and quality.
Tradition Meets Innovation
Although the company maintains traditional working methods, it has always embraced technological innovation to improve the quality and efficiency of production. Harvested year-round, the lemons are selected and packed by hand to preserve their integrity and freshness. Approximately 1,000,000 kg of PGI-certified lemons are processed each year, distributed within 24/48 hours of harvesting by refrigerated trucks.
The Implementation of the Elaisian Stations
The expansion with the new 5 Elaisian stations represents a significant step towards optimising agricultural management. These stations, integrated with the Elaisian App, will allow Costiera Agrumi to monitor weather conditions in real time, providing valuable data that will enable more informed and timely agronomic decisions.
Management with the Elaisian App
A revolutionary aspect of these stations is the integration with the Elaisian app, which allows the entire lemon production chain to be managed through a single agricultural management platform.
Here’s how it works:
Air Temperature Monitoring: The app provides accurate air temperature data, allowing frost damage to be prevented and phytosanitary treatments to be optimised.
Precipitation: Rainfall monitoring helps to better plan irrigation, avoiding water wastage and ensuring that plants receive the right amount of water.
Air Moisture: The app helps maintain ideal humidity levels, reducing the risk of fungal diseases and improving overall plant health.
Accurate Weather Forecast: The app provides detailed weather forecasts for up to 3-5 days, allowing you to plan farming activities with greater accuracy and reducing the risks associated with adverse weather conditions.
Benefits of Using Elaisian Stations
The integration of Elaisian stations will bring numerous benefits to Costiera Agrumi, including:
Optimisation of Resources: Better use of water and fertilisers, reducing costs and environmental impact.
Increased Productivity: Better crop management leads to increased yield and fruit quality.
Risk Reduction: Constant monitoring of soil and climatic conditions allows timely intervention in case of anomalies.
Sustainability: Use of advanced technologies for more sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural management.
A step into the future
The installation of 5 new Elaisian stations along the Amalfi Coast, in addition to the 5 already existing ones, is further confirmation of Costiera Agrumi’s commitment to innovation and sustainability. Thanks to this partnership, the company will be able to continue producing lemons of the highest quality, while preserving the environment and natural resources. Elaisian is proud to support Costiera Agrumi in this journey, demonstrating once again how technology can make a difference in the agricultural sector.
