SiCar Farms has a strong commitment to sustainable development through a circular economy approach.
Where every stage of the lime production and commercialization process is designed to minimize waste and maximize the use of natural resources. From its cultivation to its industrial processing, each and every component of the fruit is put to use.
Our lime production:
Installation of 1 beehive every 2 Ha of lime plantation, for the conservation and reproduction of local bees. In addition to establishing pollinating plants endemic to the region.
Used for protection, feeding wildlife, and generating a microclimate.
+ Carbon Sequestration
+ Water Infiltration
Plantations of Persian lime grown with sustainable practices such as pest treatment through biorepellents, biological control, and tree nutrition via bio-inputs.

We Are Pioneers of the
Sustainable Agroforestry System
Soil is a crucial natural resource for agriculture that requires maintenance and care to be productive. Proper agricultural practices establish a balance in food production. To maintain this balance and improve our soils, we produce our own biofertilizers.
To keep our soils balanced, we strengthen the nutrient uptake of our crops through soil and foliar application.
Rooting agent and soil improver
Soluble organic matter that increases fertility and the proliferation of symbiotic microorganisms for the root.

Liquid foliar nutrient
High-absorption multimineral foliar nutrient that prevents and corrects plant deficiencies. It promotes crop growth, development, and productivity.

On our plantations we set aside a percentage of the land as natural reserves. There we can find a great variety of birds and fowl endemic to the region. Some of the activities we carry out to preserve these natural reserves:
The proliferation and conservation of pollinators is our commitment. Bees are critical to the ecosystem because they are an indicator of environmental conditions such as climate change as well as environmental pollution.

We have a laboratory for research and production of biological control agents, where we raise insects such as Chrysoperla Carnea to control pests and diseases.

Botanical Extract Insecticide
It acts on contact with the insects' bodies, causing mobility disruptions that keep the insect from feeding, reproducing, and establishing itself.

Botanical Extract Insecticide
It offers contact-action power and a residual effect that protects your crop while reducing environmental impact and the buildup of resistance.

Our education support program includes granting $10,000 scholarships to outstanding university students each semester so they can complete their degrees.
Additionally, we collaborate with the University of Colima on the development of a technical high-school program in sales to promote the professional development of our packing, ranch, and administrative staff.
We firmly believe that sports are the best tool for improving as a community. That is why we sponsor and organize a range of sporting events to promote healthy living.
We take part in and organize cleanup brigades in our community.
We are part of the state's altruistic donation club, and we also make financial donations to support its operations.
We work with municipal authorities in the communities where we operate to restore public spaces.
Lime cultivation acts as a carbon sink, capturing significantly more CO₂ than it generates. This makes it an agricultural practice with a positive environmental impact in terms of carbon.

1.97 tons/HaCO² Emission
+12.45 tons/HaCO² Balance
Taking a step forward to care for our planet, we have installed 5,200 solar panels at our packing facilities, representing a reduction in our carbon footprint of 2,000 CO² that will not be emitted into the atmosphere.
On all our plantations we have a micro-sprinkler system that allows us to save 70% of water compared with other irrigation systems such as water cannons, furrows, and others.
