The greenhouse tomato grower Paradajz from Renkovci in north-eastern Slovenia last year produced a record 5,200 tonnes of tomatoes, up from the average annual figure of 4,500 tonnes.
Compared to 2020, sales were up by 30% to EUR 12.4 million, while net profit remained level at EUR 1.6 million. The company, best known for its tomato brand Lušt, said the increased production was facilitated by a new greenhouse in Mala Polana, near Renkovci, which produced its first tomatoes in January 2021.
