"Strawberries were the most popular product over Christmas, so much so that we sold 1.5 tons in December alone. The average sales price during the year was €2.50/kg, but of course it tends to rise out of season, reaching €6-7/kg."
"The current average price of Piccadilly tomatoes hovers between €1.30-1.50, and reached €1.80 in the peak period between early September and late October."
"We can say that 2014 was a positive year, with a slight increase in prices with respect to 2013."
"At the moment, the most popular products are spinach, white courgettes and President courgettes. The recent frost did not pose serious problems, prices could have increased but they did not."
Around 90% of the produce sold by Cristoforo Colombo is cultivated on the Monte San Biagio plain. Soon, the company will also introduce flower-less dark courgettes.
