On January 25, a commission session was held, at which Tsinuli Natsvlishvili, engineer-technologist of fruit and vegetable processing, expert of "Agrohub" presented a report: "The role of the processing enterprise of the supermarket "Agrohub" in the creation of innovative products".
The speaker noted that the goal of establishing the company "Agrohab" in December 2016 was to provide the population with high-quality natural food, including the preserves and semi-finished products obtained from the processing of raw materials purchased from local farmers. "Agrohub" is an attractive environment for developing innovative formulas and creating new products. Currently, in the production of sauces, jams, boiled fruit and others from various fruits, both classic and the latest technologies are used, which ensure the preservation of the nutritional and biological values of the end product.
Agrohub's processing plant produces products free of artificial additives, raw materials are selected from conscientious farmers who follow the basic agro-rules and norms, starting from the soil processing and ending with the harvest. The high quality of raw materials encourages us to produce healthy and useful products from it. No preservatives and dyes are used in the technology.
In developed countries, they are well aware of the price of health and the importance of organic products; the process of production of ecologically pure food products is underway. In many regions of Georgia, special attention is paid to the preservation of natural conditions, natural products has been produced in a traditional way, and we also choose this path; Our Company refuses to use genetically modified raw materials. Several innovative products have been created in "Agrohub" with the aim of providing the consumer with various food products with healthy and attractive organoleptic properties.
It should be noted that the capacity of the enterprise is gradually increasing. In the near future, a processing plant equipped with modern equipment will be put into operation, which will allow us to further expand the range of finished products. We are planning to launch a variety of diabetic, children's, breakfast preserves - the order comes from the customer themselves, so we are all committed to achieving this goal!
