Spar Croatia Increases Cooperation With Small-Scale Producers

Spar Croatia has expanded its cooperation agreements with an additional 60 small-scale agricultural producers across the country, which are facing supply chain challenges due to the coronavirus.

The retailer is purchasing salad ingredients, tomatoes, leeks, chard, parsley, spinach, and onions from these producers, it said, securing their placement on the shelves of stores nationwide.

It has called on small agricultural firms to reach out to Spar directly so that their products can be packaged and delivered through the retailer’s distribution network, if they are not able to do so themselves.

Spar Croatia is also expanding its Gardens Of Croatia own-brand range, through an expansion of existing cooperations with a large number of domestic suppliers.

The range features products sourced exclusively from domestic producers, and will now include locally-sourced beans, apples, garlic, cauliflower, and broccoli.
