AS NESTOS

In 1988, the first asparagus production cooperative was founded in Kavala, in the area of Nestos. The purpose of founding the cooperative was to develop and promote the cultivation of asparagus.

 

A.C. NESTOS is a dynamic group of producers that during its operation so far, has expanded its activities to other crops such as kiwis, apricots, and plums.

Thanks to the commitment of its members to the quality and the use of best agricultural practices, the cooperative managed to gain recognition in the international markets with the quality of its products.
