進口代理─阿根廷─「Cooperativa Apicola Patagonia」有機蜂蜜

Cooperativa Apicola Patagonia LTDA is a group of fifty-three producer families devoted to the production of organic honey. Its main factory is located in the city of General Pico, province of La Pampa. 

The cooperative model with which they work is based on direct export and commercialization without intermediaries, promoting their development and a direct relationship with quality standards when meeting the demands of their customers. 

Given its producers are direct suppliers to international importers, they gain benefits such as reduced production and marketing costs. They are more competitive and have a safer control of their traceability, ensuring quality at the final destination. 

Together with INTI, they worked on the development of the Handbook of Good Practices in the honey extraction room, as well as on the preparation of a project to install a fractionating room within the plant. Contact with specialists from the Institute is constant, through training and assistance in quality and production improvement programs. 

The company applies the quality plan based on the work of good beekeeping practices under the premise "there is no quality without safety". Hugo Quitllet, secretary of the cooperative, added in this regard: "We have a traceability process that records the path of our honey, from its production in the hive, its extraction, packaging, to its commercialization, connecting each stage of the process to guarantee the highest standards of production and logistics.” 

With a production capacity of approximately 45 tons per year packed in bulk, its organic honey is FOOD SAFETY certified and meets the conditions to export to the United States, Canada and the European Community, where it expects to expand its presence. 

Its strategic location in the center of the country and its way of production, together with the infrastructure of the province, facilitating commercialization and exportation, offer the company solid foundations for its sustained development and work.

“We want the Argentine honey to be known in the world for its quality, this is why we work so that the consumer's palate feels the experience of tasting a honey of great original purity, to show we have the best honey in the country, thanks to both our plant and our extraction methods. In our production area we count with a great variety of species that allows us to provide a large offer, both in color and in floral origin,” concluded Hugo Quitllet.
