The farm
Our rose farm in Bolívar, Ecuador
Greenhouses, post-harvest and cold rooms in one place, run by the family that founded the farm.
A family project rooted in the land
Cielos de América EC is a family business founded by agronomist Manuel Chamba in 2021, in the valleys of Bolívar, Ecuador.
We have been exporting to international buyers since 2023. The farm combines modern greenhouse technology with deep knowledge of the land to grow export-quality roses.
“Every rose is the result of perseverance, dedication and love for the land.”

Our process, step by step
-
Greenhouses
Drip irrigation, climate control and constant monitoring for long stems and well-formed buds.
-
Harvest
Each stem is hand-cut at its optimal opening point during the early morning hours.
-
Post-harvest & grading
Roses are hydrated immediately, then graded by length, bud size and health and bunched to each market’s standard.
-
Packing
Bunches are protected and packed in boxes built to withstand the journey.
-
Cold storage
Boxes are kept in cold rooms at 2–4 °C until dispatch.
-
Dispatch
We keep the cold chain unbroken all the way to the aircraft at Quito airport (UIO).
