Eugenio's Statement 

Based on my extensive know-how and competence in the fruits and vegetable business, I would like to contribute to further develop GLOBALG.A.P. and its standards in order to come up with sustainable solutions to meet the current challenges, addressing the needs of producers, retailers and consumers. 

I believe GLOBALG.A.P. can play an important role to tackle important issues like social compliance and conservation of ecological resources to protect the climate (e.g. reduction of water use and plastic, as well as Co2-emissions), combining the topics of procurement, QA and sustainability – or at least steering them into the same direction. Furthermore, I think there is still a large potential to unlock in the areas of digitalization and traceability.

Professional & Educational Background 

With over 40 years of professional experience across all levels of the fruits & vegetable supply chain, I was able to develop a profound know how and competence in this field. 

I learned fruits & vegetable business from scratch, starting my career in 1981 at the Atlanta Group, working in the area of import and distribution fresh fruit and vegetables, while at the same time completing my training as a certified fruit merchant in wholesale and foreign trade.  

In 2001, I joined GLOBUS Warenhaus, being responsible for purchasing and sales.
