provide its members with the support they need to enable them achieve their objectives and serve better the
end-customer. As a producers organisation Cyprofresh offers its members many and varied benefits which include amongst
others:
• Access to markets which otherwise would be inaccessible to individual producers
• Better margins; account for by the reduced production costs and better prices
• Reliable distribution channels
• Team strength
Aiming to enhance its competitive position Cyprofresh entered into a strategic alliance with the respected
SEDIGEP LTD which is Cyprus’s largest packer. This strategic alliance enhanced significantly the position of
Cyprofresh and its members and allowed the company to use dedicated assets and services
without the need to invest. Cyprofresh benefited immensely from this strategic alliance
which allows it to use:
• Sophisticated and efficient BRC-certified packaging facilities that meet the
standards of demanding retailers. The Sedigep packing plant provides Cyprofresh
with facilities for storage, sorting and grading, packaging and transportation
• Sophisticated technical support and quality assurance management which helps
producers meet customer expectations
• Financial support through loans and advancements to members. Equally, the
Sedigep partnership
eliminated the need for Cyprofresh to make heavy investments in capital equipment
• Logistics: storing, procurement, storage and transport
• Support in quality assurance, certification, tracing and tracking
