DiamondRoses is a beautiful rose farm situated in
the picturesque Ecuadorian valleys. Located next
to the gigantic Cotopaxi volcano, this farm provides
the perfect environment for rose production allowing
the growth of exceptionally beautiful and high qual-
ity flowers. The company exports their fine goods
worldwide to a variety of countries: 55% go to the
United States, 33% to Russia and then European
countries such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Ger-
many, France and Spain. They have also expanded
into Japan and Canada to improve their business
further. They provide a wide and vibrant range of
roses with over 40 varieties.
DiamondRoses is a rose farm that has a Flor Ec-
uador Certification, the same company that has an
agreement with UNICEF. This is clear evidence that
we do care about children, working for them, not with
them, and apply the same philosophy of responsibil-
ity when taking care about the environment.

Annual turnover: $187 million USD
Since 1983, Expalsa Corporation has specialized in
the production and export of agricultural and aquatic
products, both conventional and organic varieties.
Expalsa provides the international market with its
most prized shrimp (L. vannamei) and integrates
all areas of aquaculture, from laboratory breeding
and food production to packaging and distribution.
A comprehensively controlled production cycle en-
sures the complete traceability of their products, of-
fering shrimps of unsurpassed quality.
The company strives to consolidate its leadership
in the international market by providing high quality
products that meet a wide range of customer needs
and expectations. To achieve this goal, Expalsa fo-
cuses continuously on excellence, continuous im-
provement, conservation and environmental protec-
tion throughout the corporation.
The company emphasizes the importance of cus-
tomer and stakeholder relationships. The values set
out at the beginning of the company’s journey have
been maintained ensuring strong leadership, creativ-
ity and sustainability.
At Expalsa’s organic certified hatchery, a program for
genetic selection started some 5 years ago to coun-
ter-attack the devastating consequences of the white
spot virus in the Ecuadorian shrimp industry. This
highly sophisticated scientific program was designed
to guarantee the resistance of shrimps to the white
spot disease and, consequently, help the industry to
maintain reasonable levels of production in shrimp
farming. At that very moment Expalsa’s hatchery
started its own reproduction program of larvae from
brood stock coming from its own farms, controlling
the entire reproduction cycle of animals. The direct
consequence of that initiative was a total absence
of pressure on wild brood stock and wild larvae with
the natural consequence of no by-catches at all. The
