Select Fruit Subotica's first time at Berlin fair – Three new agreements signed, expansion of cooling plant and procurement of machines soon

The Subotica-based company Select Fruit, a wholesaler of fruit and vegetables, exhibited at Berlin Fruit Logistica for the first time this year.

They primarily presented fresh apples, as apples are a product they work with 10 months a year.

As they told our portal, during the fair, new agreements were signed, and the company also plans to expand the cooling plant and procure machines for small packaging.

– We are extremely satisfied with the results achieved at the fair. During the fair, we signed three new agreements, and we were contacted by companies which took part in the Berlin fair the first day after the fair – says the sales manager, Valentina Andric.

The company was founded in 2013 and currently has 11 permanent employees and around 30 seasonal workers. They process around 4,000 tons of fruit and vegetables a year, with a tendency of growth year after year.

As they say, they don't have their own orchard at the moment, “which doesn't mean that we won't get one in the upcoming period”, the company says.

– We are not freezing fruit and vegetables. Our cooling plant is located in Donji Tavankut (Subotica), has a capacity of 1,000 tons, with six separate chambers, two of which are ULO chambers. All the fruit we export passes through our calibrator for sorting and packing – Andric explains for our portal.

Most fruit and vegetables the company produces, 95% of the amount, is directed at Russia, France, Belgium, Spain, Malaysia, Singapore, Senegal, La Reunion and Oman. In the upcoming period, as they say for our portal, they aim for new markets, namely, Asian countries, Egypt and Great Britain, and an expansion in the Middle East.
