Fruit and

vegetable /

potato CMO

In order to improve the competitiveness of its member companies, each year Apofruit directly allocates 50% of EU fruit and vegetable CMO resources to them:

Varietal innovation: Apofruit collaborates with leading research institutes and geneticists and makes the best varieties available to cooperative members, some of them exclusively, in order to meet market needs;

Modernisation: grants to farms for anti-hail and micro-irrigation systems, coverings, greenhouses, tunnels and technical machinery.

Grants are paid out to our Members/Producers in June and December of the same year as the investment, reducing the company’s financial outlay.

All

agricultural fruit and

vegetable

producers can

join.

What we require:
membership commitment of at least 1 year and underwriting of a minimum capital contribution.

 

Internal regulations govern all Cooperative activities.
