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.
AVI, Agricultural Varieties Innovation, is a great project for production in Europe and the exclusive commercialization of seedless white, red and black grapes.
The ARRA™ varieties have been selected for their extraordinary taste and high Brix degree. They are grapes of special aroma, crunchy, with uniform large berries, of intense colour, and optimum productivity. The ideal size, the uniformity of calibre and colour, make it a product that unites excellent aesthetic quality with a truly extraordinary taste. Their characteristics guarantee the possibility to appeal to even the furthest away markets.
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.
