Menorca has 118.59 hectares dedicated to vegetable (51.59) and fruit (67) production, a clear indication of the diversification taking place in the countryside today, a far cry from the livestock, milk, and cheese production model that has historically dominated the island's economy. Specifically, statistics provided by the Menorca Island Council show 41 hectares dedicated to vegetables; 42 to stone fruit; 27 to nuts; and the remainder to potatoes and citrus fruits. According to the Balearic Government's Institute for Agri-Food and Fisheries Research and Training (IRFAP), approximately 840 tons of vegetables and fruit are produced throughout Menorca. Notable production includes 139 tons of potatoes, 119 tons of melons, 92 tons of tomatoes (of all varieties), 72 tons of watermelons, 67 tons of stone fruit, and 58 tons of artichokes. Some producers sell their produce through agricultural cooperatives, and there are also 32 fruit growers, 40 vegetable growers, and 11 legume growers who are promoted through Agroxerxa, the marketing support tool for products from farmers in Consell, funded by the farmers of Menorca. This is the case, for example, of Son Magnà, a family orchard in Alaior run by Llorenç Caules, who, for the past 30 years, has been the third generation of his family to tend the fruit trees on the property. Another example is Josep Lluís Gonyalons, who maintains the family farm in Algendaret Vell, where he produces organic fruit and vegetables. It is one of the 17 orchards linked to Agroxerxa that produce aromatic plants, an increasingly popular alternative in the agricultural sector.
