Adeje to Relocate Agromarket to Historic Site in €3.16 Million Revitalization Project

The Adeje Agromarket in southern Tenerife is set for a major move, relocating from the Las Torres industrial estate to the heart of the town. This shift aims to expand the market’s operations while supporting European goals for urban sustainability and the revitalization of historic centers.

The project has a total budget of 3.16 million euros, with 85%—or 2.69 million euros—funded by the European Union’s ERDF. The remaining 474,000 euros will be covered by the local municipality. The new market will be housed in the former Fyffes packing facilities in Las Nieves, a historic site that served as the economic hub of Finca Los Olivos in the early 20th century.

Construction is scheduled to begin in January 2027, with the facility expected to open by July 2028. The new space will nearly double the current capacity, offering 2,100 square meters of space for 65 sales stalls. It will also include seven artisan workshops, a multipurpose room, a cafeteria, and a pedestrian path leading to the nearby forest.

Beyond the physical structure, the city plans to modernize the local agricultural sector. This includes digital training for 72 producers, the introduction of QR-code traceability systems, and the launch of online sales channels, all aimed at increasing customer numbers by 30%.

The design prioritizes sustainability, featuring photovoltaic panels expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20 tons annually. This project is a key part of the 15-million-euro Adeje Urban Center EDIL Plan. Additionally, the oldest building on the site will be converted into a local history museum, slated to open in the first half of 2029. The City Council is currently working with agricultural organizations and local business associations to finalize how this new commercial and cultural hub will be managed.
