The Peel Development Commission Board recently spent the morning at Capogreco Farms learning about how they produce and supply the freshest quality to their local, national and international customers right here in the Peel.
Capogreco is a family owned and operated business combining the industry experience they’ve accumulated since 1988 with continuous research and a vision for future innovation opportunities in the pursuit of the highest quality and expanding markets.
From harvest aids that cut down picking time, cold storage innovations, to testing and certification processes and technologies, and the development of their “Guaranteed Sweet” labelling, Capogreco pride themselves on exceptional quality.
Their progressive and innovative approach to business has been recognised with their success in securing State Government funding to install a state-of-the-art rapid cooling system. This cold storage expansion enables a prolonged shelf life and quality of fruit for Japanese customers.
These kinds of innovations have allowed Capogreco to build their export capacity and competitiveness to capture new international markets. That’s great for driving long-term profitability and sustainability for one of our local businesses, as well as economic growth and job creation for the region with the continued growth and development of the agrifood sector.
Board members were very impressed with Capogreco’s utilisation of technology and their market leading commitment to harnessing innovation to achieve excellent quality for their expanding customer base.
