Anecoop will extend its offer from September till April.
During an informative day, which has gathers more than hundred of executives and technicians of its cooperatives, Anecoop presented new available varieties for its members.
The new variety Clemensoon, will be exclusively produced and marketed by Anecoop and will allow to avoid the overproduction problems by its premature coming on markets at the end of September - beginning October.
Anecoop plans to start with 200.000 plantations of Clemensoon, then a million trees in two or three years.
2 other varieties were presented: Safor and Garbí, seedless mandarins. Safor would be available on the market in February and March, Garbí would arrive later, end-March and in April.
With these new varieties which are going to spread the season from September till April, Anecoop will be present on the market almost a whole year instead of 3 traditional months.
