Apricots, peaches, nectarines and cherries – BioTropic is getting its first European stone fruits from its producers in Italy. Due to the geographic location of Sicily, the fruits are generally ready to harvest 2 to 3 weeks earlier than in other regions located further north. The Italian stone fruit season generally runs from the end of April into September.
Sea containers leave our registered office in Duisburg for “Ivoire Organics” in Côte d’Ivoire at least once per year. There are many different things in the containers, but mainly agricultural machines and other materials for the producer organisation, which are not available in the local area or can only be sourced with a great deal of effort. However, there is still room for clothes in the gaps between the strategically filled container contents.
Tomatoes here, tomatoes there, tomatoes wherever you look. They hang down in bunches and remind you of an imaginary place of extreme luxury. The red fruits, which grow in the greenhouses of the producer organisation Alba Bio, quite literally invite you to bite into them. Our employee Ivana Giannico and Mauro Finotti from the Italian BioTropic office were impressed by the flavour of the fruits on their visit.
The carrot season at Natursi in sunny Sicily started in February. This will be followed by cherry tomatoes this month. These tomatoes grow in the new modern 4 ha greenhouse.
You have probably often read about develoPPP.de projects in our news. Perhaps a project in the Dominican Republic or the Ivory Coast … But what exactly is develoPPP.de? Why do we use this and can anyone get involved?
