Domestic juices ready for the world market
They are currently focusing on organic raspberry production, plum processing, natural fruit tea, jams and bakery production, as well as production of natural fruit juices in the 3L "Bag-in-Box" under the brand "Our Nature", which are being further developed and expanded by the C2C Fund.
"There are few processing capacities in BiH, which is why it is difficult to sell domestic producers. Our business idea is to redeem and refine these domestic raw materials. All of our products are pasteurized and dried at temperatures up to 80 degrees Celsius, which keeps all the healthy and healing properties. We are currently supplying nine types of juices in special packaging, based on German technology, a large number of catering facilities in our country. We exported two pallets to Germany, and we sent samples to a Swedish company," say in this company.
The expansion and improvement of the production process will affect the increase in sales, exports and revenues, increase in the number of employees of permanent and seasonal workers, increase of the number of subcontractors, introduction of new technology and international standards. The total value of the project is 57.500,00 EUR, of which C2C Fund provided 28.500,00 EUR of grants and the rest of the company itself.
"Thanks to the project, we have hired two new workers, increased the number of subcontractors and seasonal workers, including the majority of the Roma population, and we have introduced the certificate for organic production and certified by 27 producers", they point out in "Voćar Piramida".They are grateful for the support from the Challenge Fund and hope that such forms of support to agricultural producers will continue to be in the future.
"This should be the primary obligation of state organs, but she unfortunately missed it. We are grateful to SERDA and donors who, within their capabilities, contribute to solving these problems”, conclude this company.
