A truly staggering 2.6 billion tons of food goes uneaten around the world every year. That’s shocking! You have no doubt heard this scary figure before and have already implemented measures to keep your fresh products out of those mounting landfills. Can we make sure that even more of your valuable fresh products get eaten? Absolutely!
We have a simple solution to reduce product damage by over 96%. (That’s not a typo, by the way. We really do mean 96%!)
Research shows the sturdy design of IFCO reusable packaging containers provide better protection for fresh products from farm to point of sale. Produce damage rates from producer to retailer can be reduced to 0%! The study has the details.📦🌱

Representatives of the ARID Association along with international partners from Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Germany, and Bulgaria visited the Tymbark Municipality as part of the project titled „Ugly“ fruits and vegetables… NOT! An innovative educational program for sustainable consumption and food waste reduction“, implemented under the Erasmus+ program.
The project aims to raise awareness about the incredible amount of food waste generated by our society and encourage consumers to adopt more sustainable food consumption practices. It emphasizes the importance of reducing food waste and the many benefits of consuming „ugly“ fruits and vegetables.
One of the project’s key messages is that the appearance of a fruit or vegetable does not affect its taste or nutritional value. In fact, many „ugly“ fruits and vegetables are just as tasty and healthy as their attractive counterparts, and they are often available at significantly lower costs.
During the study visit, project partners visited the production facilities of the Maspex company and met with the Mayor of the Tymbark Municipality, Dr. Paweł Ptaszek. The meeting, held at the town hall, was also attended by Ms. Dorota Ogórek, Secretary of the Tymbark Municipality, and Ms. Katarzyna Zborowska, an inspector from the Municipal Office. Participants represented higher education institutions (Portugal, Germany, Bulgaria), non-governmental organizations (Poland, Greece), and the farming community (Cyprus).
At the beginning of the meeting, the Mayor presented the Tymbark municipality to the participants and talked about its resources and values. During the meeting, guests asked a series of questions about entrepreneurship, environmental issues, and cooperation with local businesses. The meeting proceeded in a very pleasant atmosphere, and the participants declared that they would promote the Tymbark municipality in their countries.

Fruits and vegetables in Bulgaria often travel a long way from abroad before reaching our plates! 🌍 According to data from the Ministry of Agriculture, imports of fresh produce have been steadily increasing. 📈 In just eight months this year, Bulgaria imported nearly 202.5 thousand tons of vegetables and almost 255 thousand tons of fresh fruit. 🍎🥔 From tomatoes to cucumbers, the quantities are significant, with Turkey and Greece being major suppliers. 🇹🇷🇬🇷 Despite the distances traveled, these imports play a vital role in meeting consumer demand and ensuring a diverse selection of produce year-round. 🌱🌟 #ImportedProduce #FoodSupplyChain #Bulgaria #FreshProduce 🍉🍏
