What farmers used to discard is now first-class food
We built the circular agri-food system that turns every part of every harvest — fruit, vegetable, olive, insect biomass — into first-class ingredients, certified drinking water, and renewable energy.

AGRITECH FOR THE LOVE OF THE LAND
Every harvest matters.
Everyone wins.
What do we do?
Agritech for the love of the land
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.
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.
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.
Welcome to our 100% Circular Economy Laboratory in Seville. We operate a zero-waste, three-pillar ecosystem:
Pillar 1 — Food Dehydration with ECODRY® Technology
Our core business — ready now. We source fruits and vegetables from cooperatives in Spain and Latin America and process them using ECODRY®, our proprietary dehydration technology. The result: premium shelf-stable ingredients with outstanding taste, colour, and nutritional profile — no cold chain required. Whether you need dehydrated tomatoes, onions, peppers, mangoes, or custom ingredients, we can produce samples and work with you on your specific requirements.
Pillar 2 — AlmaZero: Zero-Waste Olive Processing
Scaling up now. AlmaZero is our zero-waste olive processing system, currently in development and scale-up phase. It produces premium olive oil, olive flour, and functional water — extracting value from every part of the olive. Designed for cooperatives in Spain’s olive belt seeking additional revenue streams and full by-product utilisation.
Pillar 3 — BSF: Insect Farming for Circular Economy
Scaling up now. Our Black Soldier Fly (BSF) programme converts agri-food waste and agricultural by-products into high-quality protein, functional oils, and organic fertilisers. A true circular economy solution that turns what cooperatives discard into premium inputs for animal nutrition and soil health.
Who are you?
Our Scientific and Engineering backing
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 Tech (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
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.
Circular Bioeconomy and Carbon Credits
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.
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.
Food processing equipment design and manufacture: Equipment prototyping and construction
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, Spain/Mexico
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.
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.
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.
