GrandValle’s story is rooted in the perseverance of its founder, Gilberto Secchi. Originally from Santa Catarina, he was one of the pioneers in fruit cultivation in the São Francisco Valley, a region in northeastern Brazil now internationally renowned for its ideal climate, soil, and water conditions for fruit production.
Despite limited resources, Gilberto Secchi formally founded GrandValle in 1988 through hard work, humility, and dedication. With over 45 years of experience in agriculture and a strong reputation in the market, GrandValle is built on a solid foundation that influences its culture and inspires everyone who is part of it. Specializing in the production of mangoes and table grapes, along with other high-quality, preservative-free products, GrandValle has grown to become one of Brazil’s leading fruit exporters.
Starting with just 10 hectares of mangoes in the 1980s, the company now manages a group of farms that span over 1,000 hectares, including both productive land and environmental reserves. With a workforce of more than 1,200 employees, GrandValle recognizes its significant social role. As a result, its core values include social responsibility, environmental respect, and innovation. Every step of production, from harvesting to processing, undergoes continuous improvement and is backed by national and international certifications.
There is a reason behind the slogan “Gift of Nature”: our GrandValle TopTeam takes pride in respecting Mother Nature, which provides us with fresh fruits and many other essential resources for our health. But none of this would matter if we didn’t leave a positive legacy for the world. For this reason, strong environmental, social, and governance practices are strategic pillars of our company, which believes in sustainable agriculture—one that respects the environment, is socially fair, and fosters economic progress.
