What is the Associazione Nazionale Le Donne dell’Ortofrutta?

The “Associazione Nazionale Le Donne dell’Ortofrutta” has been founded by a group of 30 professional women from the world of Fruit and Vegetables. After few months of confrontation and discussions they have established a series of shared ideas, goals and reasons to create this new associative reality. The Association main objective is to create a network of experts and realize ideas and projects, promoting the feminine vision of the Fruit and Vegetables sector.
