In mid-August, a small delegation from PPO Services AG and Georges Helfer SA traveled to southern Spain for a week.

The purpose of the trip was to visit existing suppliers in person, establish new contacts, and gain direct insight into local production and work processes.

The trip took the group to various plantations and packing houses. There, they were able to gain valuable insights and become even more familiar with the processes along the entire supply chain.

Personal interaction with partners is particularly important for maintaining existing business relationships, ensuring quality, and exploring new collaborations.

In addition to many interesting discussions and professional insights, there was also plenty of time for personal interactions.

The group was warmly welcomed by all suppliers and partners and treated to culinary delights.
This hospitality and the many wonderful moments shared together made the trip a special experience.

Thanks to this trip, existing partnerships were further strengthened.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all partners and suppliers for their excellent on-site support, their hospitality, and the many wonderful moments we were able to share together.

A delegation from PPO Services AG and Georges Helfer SA, represented by Oliver Wanner, Daniel Buchmüller and Peter Frey, embarked on an exciting and successful business trip to Brazil and Peru.

The aim of the trip was to visit the avocado and mango plantations there and to have a direct exchange with the local producers.

As soon as we arrived, we were greeted by warm and sunny weather, which made the visits to the plantations all the more pleasant.

The impressive areas under cultivation and the enormous quantities of avocados and mangoes produced there left a lasting impression. It was fascinating to see the care with which the fruit is cultivated and harvested.

In addition to the plantations, we also visited the modern, state-of-the-art packing facilities. The efficiency and professionalism with which the fruit is prepared for export underlines the high quality of the products.

A particularly important aspect of the trip was the direct exchange with the producers on site.
The personal discussions strengthened mutual trust and consolidated the cooperation.

It is essential to understand the challenges and needs of the producers directly in order to develop sustainable and successful solutions together.

Overall, the trip was not only successful in business terms, but also exciting and instructive.

The impressions gained and the deepened partnerships will certainly be of great benefit to us in our future cooperation with the producers.

We would like to thank everyone involved.
