Nectarines
MESSI COOP produces and distributes more than 5.000 tons of nectarines each year, being ranked as one of the largest producers of nectarines by volume in Greece.
The fertile plain of Imathia has been proven as an ideal place for nectarine growing where our fields and facilities are located.
The distinct climate and soil conditions of the region along with the organized cultivation and the scientific control of both the production and harvesting, are resulted in the production of premium quality nectarines.
Our nectarines are famous for their intense color and smooth and shiny skin as well as for their juicy flesh. These attributes make our nectarines to stand out among competition.
