As we eagerly await the beginning of the new harvest season, preparations for the upcoming season at Omega Agro Group are in full swing. The past few weeks have been marked by important activities focused on improving our operations, strengthening partnerships, and further developing our production and logistics capacities.

Our team had the opportunity to visit the PLMA – Private Label Manufacturers Association trade fair in Amsterdam, one of the key international events in the field of private label products. During the fair, we became acquainted with the latest trends, requirements, and standards that are highly important for cooperation with leading retail chains. We also used our visit to the Netherlands to hold meetings with our partners and make additional preparations for the upcoming season.

Following a successful business trip, it was our great pleasure to attend the official opening of the cherry packing and sorting cold storage facility of BMK Agrar d.o.o. in Slankamen, our friends and partners. We would like to congratulate them on this important milestone and wish them great success in their future work.

This week, we also hosted our partners from Germany, with whom we visited the construction works on our cold storage facility, as well as table grape plantations in the area of Jagodina. We are proud of the pace at which the projects are progressing and of the fact that, with each step, we are getting closer to the new season and the first fruits of this year’s harvest.

We are especially proud that Omega Agro Group has successfully passed the audit for the LEAF Marque Standard. This is a global certification system confirming that food is produced in a sustainable way, with a high level of care for ecology, natural resources, and environmental protection.

Omega Agro Group is the first company in Serbia to receive this standard, further strengthening our position with customers in the European Union market. Alongside the existing Global G.A.P. and GRASP standards, LEAF Marque represents another confirmation of our commitment to quality, responsible production, and long-term sustainable development.

We continue our intensive preparations for the new season, with a clear goal of providing our partners and customers with products of the highest quality.

Pruning and tying have been successfully completed, and we are continuing with other key agricultural activities to ensure we are fully prepared for the first grape harvest and timely delivery to our customers.

At the same time, the construction of our modern cold storage facility for packaging and sorting, led by company GP Gradjevinar, is progressing very well and in line with the planned timeline.

Favorable weather conditions are further supporting all these processes and giving us strong momentum for the period ahead.

The ceremonial laying of the foundation stone took place in the village of Slatina, in the city of Jagodina, on March 17th, in the presence of the Mayor of Jagodina, Mrs. Gordana Jovanović, and numerous guests. With this, we officially began the construction of the most modern cold storage facility for sorting and packaging table grapes — a new investment by our company in Jagodina, in the Tri Morave subregion.

The foundation stone was symbolically laid by the Mayor of Jagodina, the Director of Omega Agro Group Miloš Ćirić, and Nemanja Ćirić, Manager of GP Građevinar, the contractor performing the works — marking the official start of the cold storage facility’s construction.

The completion of this modern cold storage facility, with an area of 3,000 m² and a capacity of up to 1,000 tons, is planned by the end of July. It will be equipped with the latest machines for sorting and packaging table grapes. This greenfield investment will enable our company to establish a complete production system — from growing table grapes to delivering sorted and packaged products to customers across Serbia, the region, and Europe.

Today, we signed a contract with the renowned construction company GP Građevinar for the construction of a cold storage packaging facility, representing our new investment. Its construction, as a greenfield investment, is proof of our commitment to long-term development and the production of table grapes, as well as growth of this sector in Serbia. The cold storage facility, with a capacity of 1,000 tons and a total area of 3,000 m², equipped with state-of-the-art sorting and packaging equipment, will be completed by June, before new season. This investment will enable Omega Agro Group to establish a fully integrated production system — from the cultivation of table grapes to the distribution of sorted and packaged products to customers across Europe.
