The tomato market keeps moving forward
The demand for tomatoes increased greatly last week and also the market is performing well, as confirmed by Alessio Orlandi, commercial director of Fri-El, which has 12 hectares of greenhouses in Ostellato (Ferrara, Italy) and another 10 hectares under progress (see FreshPlaza of 10/02/2020).
Alessio Orlandi In recent weeks we have received significant orders from overseas, especially from Germany for our Grappolo, Cocktail and Ciliegino varieties. The Grappolo Ramato is one of our leading products and in Germany and Austria we sell it in bulk. The other types, instead, are mostly sold packaged, said Orlandi.
Differentiation is the key word. Our H2Orto brand is standing out because we focus our efforts on product differentiation, quality and year-round uniformity, packaging, and health aspects like nickel-free and glyphosate-free certifications.
