CHENNAI, INDIA- Freshara Agro Exports Limited has moved forward with a key international growth initiative, underscoring its focus on expanding across global agri-food markets.
In line with a Board decision taken on December 22, 2025, the Company has approved the acquisition of 100% equity stake in two Spain-based Special Purpose Vehicles—Conservas Selectas Españolas, S.L. and Gandin Invest, S.L.—as informed to the National Stock Exchange in accordance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations.
The proposed acquisitions are intended to support Freshara’s entry into the European market by creating a presence in Spain and broadening access to key export destinations, forming an integral part of the Company’s international expansion plans, subject to completion within the disclosed timelines.
A Turnaround-Led Spain Entry Strategy
Freshara’s European expansion is anchored in a structured turnaround approach, involving the acquisition of assets emerging from the insolvency process of Aceitunas Sarasa, S.A.U. This strategy enables the company to enter the European market with ready infrastructure, operational continuity, and experienced local ecosystems already in place.
- Operational Pillar: Through Conservas Selectas Españolas, S.L., Freshara will oversee the processing and packaging of premium olive products, ensuring alignment with European quality standards.
- Asset Pillar: Through Gandin Invest, S.L., the company secures ownership of production facilities and real estate, providing long-term operational security and scalability.

To ensure a smooth and sustainable transition into European operations, Freshara has committed significant capital across multiple operational layers:
- Total Investment: Approximately ₹82.5 crore across both Spanish entities

- Inventory & Materials: ~₹45 crore allocated for raw materials and packaging to initiate production
- Liquidity Support: ~₹22.5 crore earmarked for working capital to manage day-to-day operations
The transaction is targeted for completion by March 31, 2026, a timeline that underscores the company’s execution-driven global strategy.
