IFP have close partnerships with growers in France and Spain, who supply a range of seasonal produce, including carrots, parsnips, bunched beetroot and bunched carrots. These close relationships allow IFP to have an input into the growing practices overseas in order to ensure that the strict growing and quality parameters are met. One such partnership is a joint venture with Las Lomas in the Andalucia region of Spain. Las Lomas supplies IFP with a range of products including bunched carrots and parsnips. Leeks, potatoes and citrus fruit are also supplied to Produce World via IFP's sister companies.
