Simon Bruni Jan 15, 2011:
@ Neil Well put. The term is not horticultura anyway, but hortofrutícula, so the horto probably refers to hortalizas rather than horticultura
neilmac Jan 15, 2011:
In terms of usage, at least in the UK, "horticulture" refers more to flowers and ornamental plants than foodstuffs. In the food industry, "hortoFRUTIcola" refers to what is known as fruit and vegetable production/sector/packing/ etc. The etymological root or dictionary definition are secondary to its current usage in this case (to my way of thinking).
traductorchile Jan 12, 2011:
Horticultura
Etimológicamente la horticultura procede de las palabras del latín hortus (que significa jardín, huerta, planta) y de cultura ("cultivo") clásicamente significaba como el cultivo en huertas; el término se aplica también a la producción de hortalizas e incluso a la producción comercial moderna.

traductorchile Jan 12, 2011:
The question isn't if it has packing or doesn't. The question is it's property. I understand that a "central hortofrutícola" isn't a private corporate enterprise, a company, but instead a cooperative entity where the products of different producers (associates or partners) are processed, in this sense it is equivalent to a "centro de acopio" but with processing and packing facilities. So although it is a packing plant basically, it should have another name that reflects it's cooperative condition.
schevallier Jan 12, 2011:
@neilmac it's a packing plant, all right AND, as Simon puts it : "this is a place where fruit and vegetables are packaged and distributed"

fruit and vegetable packing plant

I don't think there's a more concise way of saying it in English.

disagree neilmac : The query is: "central hortofrutícola". "Comercialización" = trading/marketing/commercialisation. Simon's is the best answer for me.

...selección, envasado y comercialización... ????
neutral Simon Bruni : I think commercial is okay, not so sure about 'production'. Fruit and veg is 'produced' on farms.
55 mins
Yes, it's a question of produce (grown) vs. product (packaged, etc) then... and I think a production can be commercial (as in my example), but you found the best translation anyway, which is what matters ;) Thanks!
disagree traductorchile : central hortofrutícola is a cooperative entity not a corporate enterprise. Thanks, every day I learn something new.

FYI I never said otherwise, this is going too far! I know it is a cooperative, I never mentioned any corporation, I live in the country, surrounded by farmers and co-ops, and the whole point of growing vegetables & fruits is (guess what) to sell them

Hi Simon: Thanks for your opinion; HOPE YOU'RE NOT MISTAKEN: Saludos, eski
neutral neilmac : I agree with Simon. Horticulture is more to do with flowers (I have a certificate in Horticulture myself). This is about fruit and veg:)
