After many years working with Smart Fresh, which is a leading product, many people have seen it here, because all the important fruit companies have a stand here or a representative. So from the south to the north and from the east to the west of Italy they are here. That is the importance of being here. We see our counterparts during the year, but this is a point where we meet again, we have meetings and we talk about business.\u00bb<\/em>, said Ivo Secchi, Account Manager Italy Agrofresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See you next time!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the third and final day of Macfrut, our team continued to explore the fair; it seemed almost impossible to get to know every corner of the 60,000 square meters and the 1,100 exhibitors who participated in this year&#039;s 40th edition of the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-19-at-10.12.50.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22730\" width=\"500\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-19-at-10.12.50.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-19-at-10.12.50-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-19-at-10.12.50-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Among so many companies, several stand out that are dedicated to packaging, an area of great relevance in the production of cherries; one of them is Graziani Packaging, a company that distributes its products in Chile through Fematri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <em>\u00abThe Graziani Packaging company was born and developed by specializing and focusing on the subject of palletizing. Our particular product is the magic corner, it is the high-quality cardboard corner, we produce it with virgin Scandinavian papers, we mix it with recycled papers of excellent quality, of first selection; together with that comes the plastic strap, which are practically the two tools used to palletize fruit such as cherries for export from Chile to all places in the world\u00bb<\/em>, explained Andrea Francesconi, Export Area Manager of Grazziani Packaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Italian industry is connected to Chile in many ways, whether through products and services, or because the eyes of producers and researchers are on our country; Chile is the largest exporter of cherries in the world with more than 415 thousand tons exported during the recent campaign. Added to this is the impeccable quality from the orchard to the export, which has undoubtedly made our country a world reference when it comes to cherry production\u2026 and in Italy, they are clear about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This concludes Smartcherry&#039;s second participation in Macfrut, the fruit and vegetable fair that this year brought together nearly 50,000 visitors from all over the world, a record figure, and which showed an increase in attendees of 29 percent compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will be until 2024!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-19-at-10.25.50.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22738\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-19-at-10.25.50.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-19-at-10.25.50-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-05-19-at-10.25.50-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary of the three days, cherries, Chileans at the fair and much more.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":239,"featured_media":22745,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[2497,2788,2790],"category_proveedor":[],"pais":[],"class_list":["post-22723","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias","tag-2497","tag-especial-macfrut","tag-iitalia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
