Storage & shelf life
Sustainability and supply chain
CHRISTOS KOLLIOS
FARMER FROM ROKKA, GREECE
I want fair treatment and fair prices all along the supply chain.
For Christos Kollios, cultivating kiwis is a family affair: "My father started growing these fruits in 1986. I took over in 1999 and changed to organic farming. The whole family is involved: My wife and children help me in the fields." He takes care of the pruning of the plants himself, he only employs paid labour for the harvest. "At the beginning of the harvest, it is difficult to find temporary workers. But, what worries me the most is the state taxes. The price at which we can sell our fruit remains the same, while the price on the supermarket shelves keeps rising. We would need a policy that supports agriculture more."
