Salix Fruit reflects on strong 2022
Salix Fruit said it is looking forward to a positive 12 months after what it describes as challenging but successful year for the company in 2022.
“2023 will be as exciting and tough as the past year. We think logistics is still an issue, according to industry players, things will get back to normal only in 2024, maybe end of this year,” said co-founder and COO Juan González Pita.
“Another threat is worldwide inflation, especially in Europe and the US, where people are not used to it and are not willing to pay more for fresh produce.”
Floods, strikes, and the lack of containers associated with the Russian war, impacted Salix Fruit’s business in the first half of 2022, but the company said the situation normalized from July onwards.

Its global network of editors, reporters, and correspondents, publishing ten issues per year and daily online news, provides international fruit and vegetable trade with the latest information and analysis, covering innovations in all areas of the industry.
