Moyce project takes advantage of the Food Chain Bayer CropScience to export its production of table grapes (26/07/2011)

The Spanish company producer and exporter of table grapes, Moyce, located in Totana has confirmed the benefits it provides to be integrated into the Food Chain project developed by Bayer CropScience to maintain its strong position in exporting their products to European markets.

Food Chain Partnership is an initiative of Bayer CropScience aims to work collaboratively and cooperatively with all stakeholders involved in the food chain.

The ultimate goal is to offer consumers quality food, safe, healthy and reasonable prices throughout the year.

Currently, Bayer CropScience has launched in Spain more than 70 projects of this nature.

Moyce joined this project in 2009 and since then has worked in coordination with Bayer CropScience technicians in order to meet the stringent requirements of European distribution chains in the area of ​​maximum residue levels in fruits and vegetables.

Currently, the most important distribution chains in Europe set for horticultural products, maximum residue limits more stringent and demanding European legislation itself.

These conditions, which ensure healthier products for consumers, producers require a major effort throughout the growing period of the products.

Trini Diaz In this sense, technical director of Moyce acknowledges that included in the draft Food Chain Bayer CropScience involves "a total change of mentality, because before they would alternate different families of plant protection products to avoid possible resistance to pests and diseases can produce. "

Currently, this technique can not be this way because they can not be detected for more than 5 different substances in horticulture produce some supermarket chains.

According to technical director Moyce "table grapes produced a Food Chain Partnership Project is well below the requirements of European supermarkets in levels of waste, without compromising product quality."

"In this way he continues Diaz joined the project to use Food Chain Bayer CropScience products based on a strategy that minimizes their use and who uses them, just at the right time, compared to the previous action was more preventive. Now plantations are treated only when it is necessary and the smallest amounts possible. "

According to Trinidad Diaz, control is such "that the first year of the Food Chain residue tests were 0 and thereafter we found only traces of 2 substances when they are allowed up to 5".

With the addition of Food Chain Moyce the project, the company has received claims Murcia distribution chains throughout Europe.

Moyce: Spanish major producer of table grapes for export

Moyce is a family company dedicated to the production of seedless table grapes (seedless).

Its average production is 22 million kilos a year entirely to the export-led.

Currently, its production is exported to the European Union, countries of the Arabian Peninsula and Africa.

To achieve this output Moyce farms has spread throughout the province of Murcia, alternating productions of coastline and mountains, so that they harvest from May to December.

The production company includes white grape, red and black varieties designed to meet European demands of consumers.

This sendo, Trini Diaz has confirmed that one of the breeding strategies that improve the product is to cover the vines with plastic, not so much to hasten ripening, but to keep the product clean and prevent damage from rain.

"Consumers, especially Europeans, seeking a grape clean, smooth and crisp and the weather in Murcia with little rainfall, if we do not cover the vines, the grapes would be filled with dust and not be suitable for European standards."

Trini Diaz acknowledges that this way of working means that labor-intensive harvesting at times can reach over 1400 people.

The company has two warehouses for packing the fruit and expect to open a third store next year to offer grape basket packed format "high demand by consumers."

Moyce also has two experimental fields in cultivating new varieties of acquiring the patent to grow and distribute later.

Currently Moyce distributes its products to chains like Mark and Spencer, Asda, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Waitrose, among others, and produces varieties like Sugraone, Ralli, Crimson, Autumn Royal, Thompson, Magenta, Timpson, Loretta, Allison, and Flame, among other .
