Agribologna in Caab:
Agribologna’s presence at the Bologna Agri-foodstuffs Centre (Centro AgriAlimentare di Bologna – CAAB) is most significant in terms of size and the type of offer in Bologna’s vegetable and fruit market.
In fact, the particular nature of the assortment offered, made up basically of products grown and harvested in the area, and the quantity of daily trading, are quite unique on the Caab scene.
Agribologna’s experience in the Centro AgroAlimentare can be defined unique on the national fruit and vegetable market scene; as a matter of fact, having a sales area of 3,000 m2 in the centre of the market and being able to serve 1,200 clients from all over the country with freshly harvested produce, make Agribologna an added value for the whole market system.
About 20,000 t/annum are sold on the co-operative’s stand with at least 110 products every day so that Agribologna can give the operators at the Bologna market a really advantageous and convincing solution. Advantageous, in that the goods do not go through other hands and it is the partner farmers themselves that take their produce to the market and help with their sale. Convincing, because thanks to the quality and particular nature of the offer, traditional retail, organised distribution and catering sectors find the products that have been marginalised by mass society and standardisation.
Throughout the year Agribologna takes specialities, first produce, rarities and also products grown by the partners that boast a quality and health guarantee level and a freshness that have no comparison with the other stands at the market.
With Agribologna’s long tradition at the market now, and of the founder Co-operative before, is a benchmark not only for local operators but also for wholesalers and distributors from other Italian regions and provinces.
It can quite honestly be said, using the words of these clients, that today Agribologna is important thanks to Caab, but Caab also enjoys the attraction thanks to the presence of the Consortium and its associates.
