A genuine game\u202fchanger\u202fin the apple sector, Cosmic Crisp\u00ae has now embarked on a new development phase in Europe.<\/p>\n

Alongside the\u202fVOG\u202fand\u202fVIP consortiums, the first to bring the apple to the Old Continent, the project now expands to include three leading industry organizations as licensing partners: DOSK \u2013 Deutsches\u202f Obst-Sorten\u202f Konsortium, consisting of Elbe\u202fObst\u202fand\u202fObst\u202fvom\u202fBodensee, in Germany;\u202f AFG \u2013 Austria\u202f Fruit\u202f Group in Austria, and\u202fWFL\u202f -\u202f World Wide\u202f Fruit\u202f Ltd.\u202fin the UK, FreshFruitPortal<\/a> informs. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we decided to bring\u202f Cosmic\u202f Crisp\u00ae\u202f to Europe, we immediately understood the potential of this apple,\u201d explained\u202fWalter\u202f Pardatscher, CEO of\u202falpoma.\u202f\u201cWith the addition of quality partners\u202f like\u202f DOSK, AFG\u202f and World Wide\u202f Fruit, we are ready to consolidate and ramp up the development of this incredible project with even greater conviction.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These European partnerships \u202fwill make it possible to strengthen the Cosmic Crisp\u00ae brand presence in the premium segment and guarantee the strategic growth of production aimed at the domestic market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe, DOSK and its shareholders, have decided to get involved in the Cosmic\u202f Crisp\u00ae project because we are convinced that we can provide retailers with value-adding product range components in addition to basic supplies, and of course also with the promise of unique quality,\u201d said Andreas Berg, Managing Director of\u202fDeutsches\u202fObst-Sorten-Konsortium\u202fGmbH.\u202f\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Consumers and retailers will benefit from excellent coverage thanks to the combination of local products\u2014from Germany, Austria and the UK\u2014with the produce of South Tyrol-S\u00fcdtirol, which will remain the cornerstone of the project. Italy will also continue to coordinate and manage the European network via\u202f alpoma, the PO that includes VOG and VIP.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe the future belongs to apple varieties with outstanding taste and consistency,\u201d added\u202f Roland Rosenzopf, Managing Director of AFG GmbH. \u201cThis is why we invest in Cosmic\u202f Crisp\u00ae, a premium club variety offering exceptional flavor, high quality, excellent storage and strong consumer recognition, supported by a well-structured club system that creates value along the entire supply chain.\u201d\u202f\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Germany, \u202fAustria, and the\u202fUnited\u202fKingdom\u202fare not the only European countries involved in the development projects of the\u202fCosmic\u202fCrisp\u00ae network: partners in France, Benelux, and\u202fSwitzerland are testing the variety with the aim of beginning production in the next few years.<\/p>\n
