Potato packaging at Antonio Ruggiero.
The company is now working on the new 2016/17 season. While it is still way too early to compare it to last season, it seems that "results are satisfactory both in terms of quality and yields."
Potatoes by Antonio Ruggiero.
"Potatoes are looking healthy, with good grades and shelf-life. It is still far too early for an assessment in Northern Europe, as we will have to wait for September to end. Good quantities were exported to Northern Europe and to France, Spain and Holland in particular, especially since their harvesting was delayed, just like in Great Britain."
