The agriculture arm of the PICO group of companies is targeting the better prospects from red and black grapes following a poor white grape season due to oversupply from India, commercial director Sara Salama told Fresh Plaza. “In addition to the good climatic and growing conditions, she believes that one of the most important advantages of Egyptian grapes is that they bridge that gap between the Chilean/Indian season and the start of the European campaign.” Salama also says PICO is looking to increase the volume of mangoes exported to the GCC and UK, and the company will continue its production of avocados, riding the wave of growing global demand.
