Nango & Adela · A family, a farm · Planting since 2000

Two generations, one farm. and roots that don't change hands.

CR Farm Products V y M S.A. is the Vega family's grower-exporter house for Costa Rican tropical roots. Don Nango Vega, a lifelong farmer, planted his first malangas here in 2000. The consumer brand Nango Freshly carries his name. Today the second generation runs the company from the same farm in San Carlos, Alajuela, shipping cassava, malanga, eddoes, ñame and ginger to five export markets.

01 · The origin

It started with Nango.

From the first malangas in 2000 to a 15-SKU catalogue today, without ever changing soil, surname, or who answers the phone.

In 2000, Don Nango Vega planted his first malangas in Muelle de San Carlos. No company yet, a lifelong farmer, his family, and the land they trusted.

Five years later, in 2005, the work became a company. The Vegas registered CR Farm Products V y M S.A. with cédula jurídica 3-101-669016 and began shipping under their own name. The consumer brand Nango Freshly, launched in 2024, carries Don Nango's name to every shelf.
