OPERATION

In order to minimise risks and protect our customers from worldwide and/or regional economic fluctuations, possible shortages resulted from damages of harmful agricultural species on plants (i.e.: Tuta Absoluta that damaged tomato harvest in Turkey in 2010) and/or climatological conditions that effect harvest conditions, PEPTO invests in raw materials such as tomatoes and peppers before planting seasons by supplying contracted farmers with seedlings to be able to purchase the crop within harvest periods in order to make sure that we offer best quality products at the best available prices to our customers from the fertile lands of the Aegean region of Turkey.

One of the most important primary objective and responsibility of the company is to make sure that our customers will receive their needs even in shortage years at the most competitive market prices and/or to make sure that the customer will be protected against stocking higher price products before abundance years. In order to achieve this objective, we continuously up-date news section of our web page before harvest, during harvest and after harvest periods, where our customers can also contact us anytime via e-mail for further and accurate information.
