Who are we?
Rago is the second largest exporter of Rucola (wild rocket) in Europe growing rucola 12 months the year.

We are quickly becoming a leader also of Baby Leaf products such as wild rocket, green and red lettuce, corn salad and spinach to name a few.

98% of our products are grown under cover in plastic tunnels because this reduces the adverse effects of the environment and limits any growth of airborne plants (weeds) that frequently grow along side the plants in open fields which take water and nutrition from the plants and attract insects.

Our Water

We irrigate our plants and wash our products with fresh mineral water from a deep underground lake. In addition to the health benefits of growing plants with fresh mineral water, it also gives us the ability to not  be concerned with drought or have a dependence on treated municipal water sources.

We spend over €100,000 a annual to test our wells to insure the quality of the water.
