The berries are raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and blackcurrants. The raspberries commercialized by our group come from the major genetic improvement program promoted by Plant Sciences: they are exclusive varieties called Grandeur and Radiance. Also with regard to blackberries, experiments are underway to obtain new varieties, to accompany the already present Tupi and Lookness. As for blueberries, innovation is on the horizon. RK Growers is in fact licensee of the new varieties of SEKOYA™ blueberries.

There is a lot of excitement about the production of seedless lemons. This fruit has an excellent Brix/ acid ratio, selected after thorough field research. In this way lemons with an extraordinarily agreeable taste with an absolutely balanced acidity level can be obtained. Probably, it is one of the most interesting novelties in the field of citrus fruit growing and for our country.
One of the most successful products is the NADORCOOT variety, it has a great flavour quality that lasts until the end of the season. Currently new varieties are being studied, of both national and foreign production, which will appear on the market soon.
The objective of our Project that started ten years ago is to attain the highest quality.
Varieties that belong to the COT group, which have a great flavour, and a high degree Brix have been chosen; specific organoleptic characteristics and an impeccable appearance. Our apricots grow in Italy (400 ha), Spain (150 ha) and Tunisia (100 ha); in this way it is possible to increase the supply and prolong it for several months. The fruit is harvested at the perfect moment of ripeness to guarantee a top class taste for consumers. The overall production amounts to nearly 9000 tons and it is mainly commercialized through large scale distribution.
Apricots contain the highest levels of potassium, carotene and vitamin A; they are very nutritious and easy to digest.
Very interesting research is currently being carried out on the new varieties of yellow and red flesh kiwi, which have a unique taste, their quality is similar to that of the green flesh kiwi, but they have a more intense taste. The new versions will soon be available and they will certainly increase the current commercialised volume.
