The strong plant means it can be grown in tough conditions (e.g. high temperatures). It therefore has good potential not only in Europe, but also in northern Africa or the Middle East. Due to its low waste percentage, Salvera is very attractive for retail packers. Salvera adds value to the whole chain – from farmer to end consumer.
