Almost all of the production is of the Hayward variety and comes from Pieria, Larisa, Kavala and Arta, among the most suitable areas in Europe for kiwi growing. All production is certified by GlobalGAP and GRASP. The fruit is stored in state-of-the-art company owned cooling rooms located in Nea Ephesos, Pieria and the packing takes place in the company-owned BRC, IFS, ISO22000 and SMETA certified packing house in Ionia, Thessaloniki. The fruit is transported in privately owned refrigerator trucks from production to packing. Continuous monitoring of kiwi orchards, oversight of harvesting by agricultural experts, and determination of the right stage of ripeness for the desired values of sugars and dry matter ensure the high quality of the fruit. Thanks to the advanced technology of Protofanousi’s storage facilities, the fruit is kept under ideal conditions, contributing to a product that can maintain its quality characteristics –flavor and firmness –for an extended period.
