We also keep alive the sale of the fantastic more traditional varieties grown here in the UK such as Cox Orange Pippen, Egremont Russet and Spartan.

To do this involves knowledge of the various growing regions worldwide and here at Fruit Vision we work closely with growers in the UK as well as France, Austria, Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa and Chile, but the sourcing doesn’t stop there as many more regions also grow and market fresh produce and they all have their own qualities.

We know where the main growing regions are within these countries as well having the skill to take into account transit times and the ability to manage stock levels. Keeping abreast of new varieties, and new clones of existing varieties, is also important so we can highlight specific elements for example best pick times, storage requirements and colour, taste and flavour characteristics.

In addition to apples and pears, Fruit Vision also sells many other products such as citrus, kiwi and salads and we are always keen to talk to other growers if they have the right product and are looking for the right person to market it.
