We have the exclusive rights to represent Surexport Italy, one of the major Spanish producers of strawberries and small red berries: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries. This group also has the exclusive rights of use for the Plant Sciences’ selected varieties, an internationally acknowledged research centre Plant Sciences, which uses traditional and innovative hybridizing techniques, and has managed to produce varieties that have an excellent flavour, with an even shape and optimum calibre, resistance to parasites and diseases and high productivity. RKG even markets fruit originating from new Italian cultivations, in particular Piedmontese.

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.
Apples are the most important fruit dealt with by RKG; some brands, like Rivoira, are leaders on the European, Arab, Latin American and North African markets. Commercialized varieties are mainly the Gala, Red Delicious, Golden, Granny Smith, but our main pride and joy is the Ambrosia: the only Italian apple, grown exclusively from Piemontese and Cuneo. The Rivoira Group has obtained the production and commercialization rights in European for Ambrosia. This apple is the sweetest and it has great flavour qualities; it is ideal for children. In Italy the Esselunga network has exclusive rights over its distribution, it sells Ambrosia juice, apples squashed and turned into sweet drinks without any additives: the ideal snack for a balanced diet.
Origin
The Giant Red, Firm Red and other varieties that we are testing have lots of potential particularly for large scale distribution, considering the success they have obtained; they are distinguished for their optimum calibre and for their incomparable taste. The Piedmontese production is absolutely remarkable.
Furthermore, RKG represents a group of American producers in Europe: these cherries are available on our markets when the European production is already over; the flavour value of this fruit increases consumption every year.
