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.
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.
