Oranges are cultivated and sold a lot in Greece. Orange Valleys is a company where oranges are important. A part of the oranges they grow themselves, but to meet the demands for export they also purchase oranges of other farmers. They supply mainly companies in Europe, the UK, Germany and Eastern Europe countries "And we supply several countries in the Middle-East," tells Nikos Gkoutsis, Orange Valleys’s Business Development Manager.
Watermelon
Another important product for Orange Valleys is the watermelon. "What we provide to our customers is something more than watermelons: we are providing trust and reliability, so the agreement will be fulfilled exactly as discussed, concerning product quality, competitive pricing and delivery time." The company started last week with the new season of watermelons.

Orange Valleys is based in Laconia region. "There are a lot of fruit and vegetable farmers in this area. "A perfect climate, fertile soil and suitable temperatures give tasty and flavourful produce as a result." A large part of the fruit is sold under the brand name Orange Valleys. Nikos explains that a lot of the smaller farms don’t have the opportunity to export their production. "Cooperation between farmers and Orange Valleys is important. We always look out for good farmers to strengthen our operation."
