They seek to boost the regional production of blueberries
APAMA will seek to ensure that the Concordia blueberry is “preferred” by the most demanding consumers. It will be prioritized that the tools and methods to be used are “from an environmental point of view, friendly.”
«When he talks about an "oasis" he talks about its own characteristics achieved through natural or man-made barriers.«, began by pointing out the current head of APAMA, Alejandro Pannunzio.
As reported in due course, the entity seeks to strengthen regional production by supporting the strengths of the area, among which are the sandy texture, the depth of its soils, the abundance and unbeatable quality of its water resources, which - together with its heliophany - they generate optimal conditions for the manifestation of the genetic potential of the varieties that are grown, thus generating a unique flavor to the fruit.
«In this case, one of the issues we are looking for is to have some privileged health status, especially linked to the theme of the fruit fly“Pannunzio added.
In statements to the program “Con todo al Aire” (Radio 10 Concordia), the leader stressed that priority will be given to ensuring that the tools and methods to be used are “from an environmental point of view, very friendly”; and from the economic point of view, "most convenient«.
Organic
Blueberry production in Concordia aims to have products that are "as healthy as possible," commented the president of APAMA. Emphasizing that practically "we do not use insecticides, they are very careful crops."
In that sense, Pannunzio explained that what is sought is to contemplate an increasingly demanding demand, especially from the US and European markets. So implement the natural barrier to combat the fruit fly in the region, «it would be very convenient«.
comparisons
«That is not being implemented in any of the country's producing regions«commented the leader and producer. Clarifying that what he seeks, at least immediately, is not to differentiate himself by setting a differential price; but rather "that our fruit is preferred to other countries«.
«One what it aspires is to be in the preference of the consumers«he asserted. Differentiating local production with Peruvian production, for example; since the latter has «very good life after harvest" but "It does not taste like the fruit of Concordia«.
