Harvesting and distribution of Spreafico stone fruit will start at the beginning of May. Approximately 10,000 tonnes of peaches, apricots, nectarines and plums are cultivated on farms - owned by Spreafico and its associated farmers - located in different Italian regions such as Basilicata, Calabria and Emilia Romagna, a production that will accompany us until the end of September.
Simone Spreafico, Managing Director, says: "Thanks to the solid and deep-rooted partnerships with our farmers, from our packaging warehouses in Emilia Romagna we have the capacity to satisfy every need that our customers and end consumers ask us for."
"Study, research, analysis of consumption trends and listening to the needs of our interlocutors are the fundamental principles on which we base our work. Our team of agronomists is dedicated to researching and evaluating new varieties to propose to our farming partners and to the market, with the aim of offering increasingly high-quality fruit that meets the demands of our customers and the most demanding consumers. One example of this is the ZAI 208 PR plum, which will be sold under the TASTY SWEET® brand and of which we are the exclusive grower in Italy. As early as this year, we will be able to offer the fruit of the first harvest to the market. TASTY SWEET differs from other varieties due to its excellent organoleptic properties: its high brix level combined with a very special aroma make its taste irresistible."
"Moreover, thanks to the efficiency of Spreafico's integrated supply chain, we guarantee peaches and nectarines even in winter by importing the product from Spain, the southern hemisphere (Chile) and North Africa (Morocco)."
For over 65 years, Spreafico Francesco & F.lli s.p.a has been the Italian reference company in the fruit and vegetable sector: vertically integrated in the supply chain and recognised in Italy and abroad.
Production, Import and Distribution are the activities on which Spreafico bases its identity and which, today, allow the company to distinguish itself from other players on the market.
Thanks to the 12 farms it owns and the solid partnerships established with over 320 Italian associated producers and various foreign partners, the company moves over 300 tons of quality fruit and vegetables every year, which, from its 8 locations throughout Italy, reach the tables of all fruit and vegetable lovers.
With a 2021 turnover in excess of 360 million euros, a sales office in Chile and 900 hectares of property in Italy and abroad, Spreafico is recognised as a reliable partner in all the channels in which it works: Traditional Market, Modern Distribution, HO.RE.CA and Export, and it is precisely in the latter that the company wants to grow and launch new projects to bring its Italian excellence to the world.
