At Manan Global, we see the world through fresh eyes. We are inspired by the meaning of our name, Manan, which in Sanskrit means “reflection”. We reflect on how to make the most of what the earth provides, creating a circular economy that benefits both farmers and consumers.

Every harvest matters.

Everyone wins.

Our Projects

International Research Center SIAL – Seville

The International Research Center SIAL aims to integrate Latin American universities into a network of agri-food innovation based in Seville. It is comprised of:

Autonomous University of Chiapas (UNACH – Mexico), as a founding institution and reference in Mesoamerican crops.

EUCELAB, now Manan Agritech (Spain), as a center for applied R&D focused on agro-industrial transformation and sustainability.

AZCATEC Ingeniería (Spain), as a technological partner for the design, automation, and industrial scaling of innovative processes.

Food Processing – Key Projects

ECO DRY + AI Intelligent Dehydration:

Development of a modular system that uses low-cost electrical energy (photovoltaic) to dehydrate foods with high energy efficiency, with recuperation of the extracted water for human consumption, using AI for process control guaranteeing perfect final product sterilized to pharmaceutical standards.

Pre-frying of Potatoes with Controlled Dehydration:

Replacement of traditional blanching with a sequence of controlled dehydration and expansion, allowing for ready-to-fry potatoes with fresh texture, extended shelf life, and reduced fat content.

High-Quality Sustainable Coffee:

Low-temperature roasting to preserve volatile compounds, eliminate post-roasting gases, and allow green beans to be stored for up to 5 years. This approach reduces carbon footprint and adds value for the producer.

Cacao: Comprehensive Process Optimization:

Improvement in fermentation, drying, and extraction of functional compounds using proprietary technologies . Designed for functional chocolate and supplement production.

Tropical Fruits and Berries:

Processing of strawberries, papayas, guavas, and soursop to produce premium dehydrated products, extracts, and functional water. Ongoing project with local cooperatives in Spain.

Circular Bioeconomy and Carbon Credits

 Almazara Zero-waste:

A specialized system for extracting olive oil without the pit, incorporating sterilization and 100% by-product utilization. Produces olive flour, functional waters, and uses residual biomass for biogas production.

Carbon Credits (VM0046):

Application of the VM0046 methodology (VERRA) to issue credits for energy savings, process efficiency, and emission reductions in agro-industrial operations. Provides a financial foundation for long-term sustainability.

Insulating Paints:

Ceramic additive for roofs, pipelines, and vehicles that reduces energy consumption. Currently undergoing European certification for CO₂ savings and eligibility for subsidies similar to solar panels.

Automation and Artificial Intelligence in Processes

  • Development of a three-level AI system: (1) per machine (intelligent controllers), (2) per production line (continuous optimization), and (3) at the plant level (energy management, personnel, and quality control).

  • Initial application: hot air dehydrator with heat pump.

Functional and Oncology Nutrition

  • Production of foods designed for oncology patients, using a three-phase dehydration process and combinations of plant-based ingredients. This approach enhances nutrient absorption and provides textures adapted to their specific needs.

International Legal and Commercial Structure

  • Unification of projects under the global brand Manan Agritech (formerly EUCELAB).

  • Creation of the Manan Foundation (formerly Ercus Foundation) for applied research and international cooperation.

  • Establishment of companies in the United States (Dallas) for the commercialization of paints and functional products, and in Mexico for the management of agricultural products.

Metal 3D Printing Center – Seville

  • In collaboration with EOS , a training and production center for metal 3D printing is being developed.

  • Objectives: Train young talent, support companies with optimized structural design, and develop a scalable model with European funding (Next Generation EU).

Foods for Humanitarian Logistics

  • High-density, long-shelf-life dehydrated food lines. Rehydratable with atmospheric water in areas without access to potable water. Suitable for use in climate crises and human displacement situations.

I

Insect Farming for Circular Economy

  • Rearing of insects (such as Hermetia illucens) to transform food waste and agricultural by-products into high-quality protein, functional oils, and organic fertilizers.

  • Enables the full circular use of agro-industrial biomass, resulting in zero waste and positive impacts on emissions and soil health.

What do we do?

At Manan Global, we believe in a future where food is fully utilized, where every harvest matters, and every farmer is valued. We turn what others leave behind into nutritious and sustainable products, creating opportunities for farmers and offering our customers foods rich in history and purpose.

We specialize in dehydrating fruits, vegetables, and other foods that others discard based on unsustainable criteria, giving them a second chance to nourish the world..

Agritech for the love of the land.

Our approach is as efficient as it is thoughtful. We use advanced technology to dehydrate fruits, vegetables, and other foods, eliminating the need for cold chains and reducing logistical costs. This not only extends the shelf life of our products but also minimizes our environmental impact, making every bite a more conscious choice.

At Manan Global, we believe in a future where food is fully utilized, where every harvest matters, and every farmer is valued. We turn what others leave behind into nutritious and sustainable products, creating opportunities for farmers and offering our customers foods rich in history and purpose.

Reflect. Respect. Regenerate.

Pay farmers fairly. Honor the natural cycles of the earth. Create a positive impact at every stage of our value chain. At Manan Global, we believe that when we respect the hands that grow our food, everyone wins.

Reflect with us. Choose food with purpose, support local producers, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
