I worked as an IT freelancer for over 15 years and had the opportunity to work in several different countries and many projects. Later I decided to change lifestyle and moved to the Azores where i started a spirulina farm that is currently successfully producing a high quality spirulina. We do the complete process on site from production to packaging and sales.
"The first 2 years we were concentrating on producing the best possible spirulina and recently started working much more on sales and promotion. We plan to have an organic certification during the next 12 months and launch new product that we already tested and are ready to go.
Also start marketing actions on other european countries to expand our market."
