The managers report that, "we are very satisfied with the standard we have reached in 2013. After new potatoes harvested in Southern and Central Italy, we have now moved towards Veneto and Emilia Romagna to check producers and verify the ripening of potatoes we will harvest in the next few days. Our technicians are doing their best to follow our specifications in order to guarantee excellent products."
The company has the GlobalGAP option 2 certification and is also part of a controlled supply chain together with leading retailers.
Its plants are equipped with optical selection and grading machines to guarantee fresh excellent quality potatoes and onions.
To keep up with the evolving market, it came up with new packaging solutions - from 500g trays for young couples and singles to particular cardboard boxes to display the produce in stores.
The sales office points out how, "during the whole season, people kept talking about rising prices, lack of produce and high demand. Of course the market is influenced by these factors, but we are expecting things to get better in the next few months and we hope we are always supplying our clients with produce with the right quality/price ratio."
For the future, Antonio Ruggiero has various projects in mind: from the production of organic potatoes and onions, to the promotion of local products, to the widening of the range.
