New Solution for Vegetable Supply After Ardo's Exit
Published
Following the exit of the company Ardo, a new solution has been found for the supply of frozen vegetables. The Producer Organisation for Frozen Vegetables (ETG) will be able to cultivate up to around 2,000 hectares of farmland in the future. This is intended to secure production for processing.
The ETG is an association of agricultural businesses that grow vegetables for the frozen food industry. Until now, many farmers have been heavily dependent on a single buyer. The organisation is meant to improve this situation and give farmers greater security. According to the available information, the contracts and volumes for the coming years are not yet fully known.
The development is significant for agriculture in Austria, because growing vegetables for frozen food production secures an important income for many farms. How the new structure proves itself in practice will become clear in the coming months.
