The company has a fruit storage facility and applies modern methods of greenhouse production, observing high agricultural production standards (Global GAP) and strict standards regarding the amount of pesticides in the produce. It exports and supplies products to retailers and clients in Bulgaria, the Balkan Peninsula and Italy.

During the meeting, current projects and events carried out by APACCCEEC were presented. Dr. Momchil Stanishev invited the company to take part in initiatives of APACCEEC which are forthcoming this year.

In addition, some of the current challenges in the industry were discussed with the company, including the current state of the workforce, digitalization and technology in the sector and logistics channels for export. Solutions aiming to overcome such challenges were also brought up at the meeting, together with opportunities for cooperation with APACCCEEC.

APACCCEEC’s team familiarized itself with the cultivation of strawberries and other vegetable crops, such as salads, basil and lovage – products which the company markets in Bulgaria and internationally.
