The fruit is sold exclusively to food retailers in Germany and Austria and marketed in 12 x 125 gram trays "The weather played well into the hands of the baby kiwis allowing the harvest to start a week early while the blueberry season will finish much earlier Shipments of Chilean blueberries are already stopping this week."  Soft fruit demand doubled"The fall was heavily influenced by Peruvian blueberries We imported over 6,000 tons of blueberries from Peru last year The import ratio is 40% Peru and 60% Chile since January The Peruvian season will probably last a little longer." Widmann was positively surprised compared to the unabated high berry sales "It's amazing that we're currently selling double the amount of berries compared to weeks 51 and 52 then in January it just exploded again." He suspects it may be related to higher health awareness Widmann also offers organic blueberries from Peru and Chile year-round "Organic produce suffered a bit at the end of the year from the effects of the various crises both product categories recovered from this in January and showed a parallel increase," Widmann sums up Regionality as added valueThe issue of regionality also continues to be important in the marketing of blueberries "If you take the word 'regional' at its word regionality also represents real added value where 80 percent of the local blueberries are grown there are perceived to be more blueberry growers than consumers." we absolutely must also protect our domestic growers from the north and promote national marketing if we do not want to lose blueberries from German production in the future," Widmann says FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 FreshPlaza.com Italian defence and aerospace company Leonardo has agreed to acquire a 25.1% stake in German defence sensor manufacturer Hensoldt saying the transaction will enhance co-operation between the two companies Hensoldt is based in Taufkirchen near Munich Leonardo will pay EUR606 million (USD732 million) in cash to become Hensoldt’s largest shareholder alongside German state-owned development bank Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) which agreed in March to buy a 25.1% stake for EUR450 million KfW and Leonardo will each get to propose two candidates to Hensoldt’s supervisory board Hensoldt’s majority shareholder since 2017 will retain an 18% stake after the KfW and Leonardo transactions close in the first and second halves of 2021 The Leonardo-Hensoldt deal will allow the two companies which collaborate on the Eurofighter Typhoon programme “to deepen access to their respective markets offer complete solutions to their customers and share best practices for the development of future technologies” “We see multiple opportunities of working together with Leonardo to further support our successful strategy and to be able to strengthen Hensoldt’s long-term growth,” Hensoldt CEO Thomas Müller said The Leonardo announcement follows the initial public offering (IPO) that Hensoldt conducted in September to support its investment strategy and strengthen its balance sheet Hensoldt acquired Austrian data analytics provider SAIL LABS in January and agreed in March to buy France-based Mahytec which manufactures hydrogen fuel storage systems Hensoldt generated revenue of EUR1.2 billion in 2020 and is scheduled to release its first-quarter 2021 results on 7 May Gain unlimited access to Janes news and more..
