Luca Garletti, company director, tells FreshPlaza about the 2011 season: "In terms of volumes, marketing has been satisfactory. We also noticed the search for products that meet a more mature and aware consumer of exotics. Mango without fibres, avocados with a greater degree of ripening and similar requests indicate a growing degree of competence in demand. However, the misalignment of Italy in terms of payments and discounts compared to foreign countries causes concerns."
Garletti recalls the recent applications of existing regulations that, in countries such as France and Portugal, have brought the timing of payment for supplies of fresh produce to commercial terms and have eliminated unreasonable discounts by retailers to suppliers.
"It would be desirable if we at least could work in accordance with European conditions! It is unthinkable that we are aligned with the other countries in terms of quality standards and certifications and not in timing of payments" Garletti says.
