Germany:Tomatoes, bell peppers and cucumbers on 200,000 square meters
7.8 hectares – 78000 square meters – are being added. Up until now, a twelve hectare section has been reserved purely for tomatoes. The bell peppers will be in the new area on around 5.3 hectares. On the remaining new area, Steiner wants to try out a third vegetable: snack cucumbers, which will, like tomatoes and bell peppers, be sold in REWE markets under the brand Rewe-Regional
The first top layer of the cultivation areas has already been cleared up. By the end of the year everything should be finished. Steiner and his associates have set aside between 12 and 13 million Euro for this. 40 to 50 workplaces have also been provided.
