THE BIRTH OF PORTUGAL NUTS
In 2020, a group of nut producing companies decided to get together and create the Association for the Promotion of Dried Fruits - APFS.
The association aims to:
- study, experimentation, demonstration and dissemination of cultural practices appropriate to the national reality of the nut orchards, and that lead to an increase in the competitiveness of its associates
- the defense and representation of the members' interests before all entities, official or private, national or international
It currently has 44 members, producers and processors, representing about 15,000ha.
WHAT WE DO
- Working groups on water and plant protection (Dinamização of moments of discussion between the associates about legislation in the scope of the themes, elaboration of documents for internal discussion and external presentation to different stakeholders)
- Disclosure of nut crops and associates
- Access to national and international information on nuts and related themes (markets, prices, sustainability)
- Conducting studies in the main areas of intervention of Portugal Nuts
- Representation of the dried fruit row next to different spheres
- Promotion in national and international events
- Promoting events and debates about the dried fruit line
- Creation of synergies among stakeholders
