BiH food industry “Klas” d.d. Sarajevo is realizing export of 20 tons of raspberries, which will be exported to a highly demanding market of Japan.
Export to Japan is realized in cooperation with company Crop’s.
“Klas” purchased 665 tons of raspberries last year, as well as other soft fruit and berries from domestic producers. The entire amount was placed for export.
“Klas” raspberries meet high quality standards of demanding markets, such as the Turkish market, where 50 tons of raspberries and 10 tons of blueberries was exported, but they also meet quality standards of one of the most famous world food brands, French Danone.
“This is another proof that BiH raspberries are among the best ones in the world and that production and processing of raspberries and other soft fruit could contribute to development of the entire food industry. ‘Klas’ is an example that domestic brands can beat the serious competition in global markets. We have gained trust of farmers, because payment for the purchased amount of raspberries and other fruit was made right after the delivery,” said Rusmir Hrvic, Director company Klas d.d. Sarajevo.
This year they plan to establish cooperation with 800 domestic farmers, which should result in purchase of 1,000 tons of high quality raspberries.
