Our approach with grapes
Since 2010, "Alfa-Vita" Patikas A. - Chatsios V. O.E. has incorporated grapes into the export range. As a result, grapes have become a key product for the company and its customers. Till today, more than 2.500 tons are being handled, annually.
The areas where grape cultivations are located, are in northern Greece, in the vicinity of the company's facilities. As a result, the handling of the products, during all stages of production, is performed under the best possible conditions.
Our company contributes in planting and growing new seedless varieties like Arra 15 and Arra 19 from Grapa Varieties Ltd and Sugar Grisp and Sweet Globe from IFG.
All producers are certified in accordance with Global Gap (+GRASP) international standards.
