This project has been co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), within the 2014-2020 Smart Growth Operational Program, and it aims to boost research, technological development and innovation.
“SWEET BERRIES: DEVELOPMENT OF NEW BERRIES WITH HIGH SUGAR CONCENTRATION”
AROFA has developed the SWEET BERRIES project with the financial support of the European Union through the MULTI-REGIONAL SMART GROWTH OPERATIONAL programme. The objective of this project is to increase the degree of sugar concentration in different varieties of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, through the application of natural extracts. The resulting fruits have high yields and are of high quality. They also have higher added value than those grown using traditional methods. As a result of this project, AROFA is positioned as an international benchmark for the production of high-value-added berries.
This project has been co-financed by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), and it aims to promote technological development, innovation and quality research.
“SELECTION OF NEW VARIETIES OF RASPBERRY FOR INDUSTRIAL USE”
AROFA has developed the SELECTION OF NEW VARIETIES OF RASPBERRY FOR INDUSTRIAL USE project, with the financial support of the European Union. It has a submitted project budget of €1,354,682, and a grant of €554,470.00. It will begin in February 2021 and end in May 2023.
The main objective of the project will be the collection of germplasm material and the development of a collection of suitable parental plants that, based on their productive and morphological characteristics and targeted crosses, will express an improvement of the existing varieties by maximizing their brix degrees and dry matter content properties.
Arofa has participated in the ERDF INTERCONECTA project:
“Shaky: Use of LNG for the development of a flash freezing warehouse and cold chain management using hydrogen fuel cells”.
This project has been co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), and it aims to promote technological development, innovation and quality research. Project EXP 00111734/ ITC-2018-1095.
