Is this disease? Is this a growing problem? Could this be solved? Could this be prevented before?

Like you, many others have these questions and the answer to all of them is yes.

Tampico fibre does not have a disease but there is a shortage because after all these years, Tampico has become a necessity in the broom manufacturers’ world due to the unique properties it presents over any other natural or synthetic fibre. 

Yes, there is clearly a lack of Tampico, but not of demand therefore, with time there will be less product.

In GRUPO INTEROCEANICO CALA we have seen this coming and have created a trustful and continual line of production where people at each level in the process get a fair price. Our harvesters trust us and won’t stop working and delivering.

Harvesters go searching for higher paid jobs in the big cities or in USA, making it harder to get new people to work on the crop which reduces the output. Demand grows, harvest decreases.

Yes. In Grupo Interoceanico Cala we encourage people to start working and harvesting Tampico by paying them a good and fair amount for their work per kilo of Tampico. This allows us to have more Tampico and not be affected by the lack of it, therefore, we keep welcoming new customers to our company, and keep cherishing our long-established ones, increasing each day our production and quality to give the best service and promote the harvesting and fair pay.

Grupo Interoceanico Cala are Tampico Fiber producers with over 20 years of experience. Relying on our own harvesters, dealing directly with them as we had since we started. We know how they live, their needs and we know the hard work they do. We also know what is required to increase our production. Our people, clients, co-workers, and harvesters trust us because they know that our word counts as much as our signature.

We are in the process of starting a new factory, that will contain enough machines, product and employees to make the lack of Tampico a thing of the past.
