Rossetta® strawberry production in full swing
The strawberry campaign has just started at Compagnia delle Primizie, the cooperative specializing in strawberry and small fruit production. For the new campaign, the cooperative planted around 60 hectares of strawberries, expected to produce approximately 3000 tons of produce destined to both the domestic and European markets. We grow four varieties:
NSG 207 (Gioelita®), Melissa and
NSG 203 (Marimbella). They are rustic cultivars, highly productive, with excellent organoleptic qualities and low chill hours requirements, so they are suitable for our weather conditions, explains Giuseppe Santarcangelo, agronomist and technical manager for the cooperative.
Melissa strawberry crops. Harvesting operations for Marimbella and Melissa started during the Christmas period and now Rossetta® production is also in full swing , adds Pasquale Casalnuovo, sales manager for Compagnia delle Primizie.
