PAcifica Farms interview final
In an interview with Flowers and Cents, Robert Gomez of Pacifica Farms discusses the devastating impact of Hurricane Rachel on flower growers in the Maneadero Valley of Baja California, Mexico.
The storm brought approximately four inches of rain within two hours, triggering severe flooding across the agricultural region. Gomez reports that the disaster caused an estimated $50 million in crop damage, destroyed growing structures, and flooded production and packing facilities. Several farms lost their entire fall production.
Pacifica Farms, which operates approximately 150 acres across five locations, suffered significant losses, including nearly one million marigold stems that were ready for harvest. Despite the destruction, the company quickly began cleaning, replanting, and restoring operations.
