Talk about good house keeping... Rago is on of the few growers in Italy who has a vacuum cooler which enables us to harvest the product early in the morning and en route to you by the afternoon, giving you a stronger, healthier product with 2 / 3 days additional shelf life. As part or our corporate strategy to invest in our future, we are now using an innovative post harvest cutter which has a horizontal blade to cut the stalk to uniform height to ensure uniform re-growth of the crops. An integral part of this machine is a giant vacuum cleaner which removes the cutting and any debris to reduce the possibility of mold and mildew from decaying foliage. This process also reduces the amount of pest in our field, reducing the need for pesticides. |
