The Rivoira Kiwi-Uno Group is awarded with the Green Med Best Exporter Award for being the pioneer in the export of apples and other Italian products in the Mediterranean region, thus overturning the belief that the interchange between North and South of the Mediterranean should only be characterized by the export of agricultural products from the South to the North and of technologies from the North to the South. Hence, the Rivoira Kiwi-Uno Group has first enhanced the Mediterranean as an open market, due to its efficiency and its technical and commercial knowledge.

MERCABARNA, SPAIN, (Photo: the DG Mrs. Montserrat Gil de Bernabé, in the middle) Motivation: Mercabarna (Mercados de Abastecimientos de Barcelona SA) is an example of efficiency and good organization among all the wholesale markets of the Mediterranean region.

Mercabarna supplies fresh produce to 10 million people. Awarding a wholesale market with an exemplary management means to acknowledge the still important role played by agrifood centers for food security, transparency of business operations, for the determination of reference
prices, for the promotion of quality in the consumers’ respect. All these functions are performed in the best way by the Barcelona wholesale market.

The choice turned to Cyprus and Amagio Enterprises Ltd of Limassol. The company was established in 1993. It carries out the tradition of Cyprus in the field of citrus at a high level of professionalism with emphasis on new varieties and to the demands of the international market. Amagio Enterprises produces grapefruit, even star ruby, lemons, Valencia oranges and a special variety called Mandora, something between a mandarin and an orange, with a very pleasant taste: a product already appreciated in important markets such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Sweden and Canada. The dynamism of this company is an example to follow for many other producers of Cyprus and the Mediterranean. This is the reason why Amagio Enterprises is the winner of the first edition of the Best Grower.Green Med Award.
