A summer characterised by high temperatures, but one where uninterrupted production was ensured. For Fratelli Cafaro in 1989, the assessment of the summer season begins with the company's ability to maintain supply even in challenging weather conditions, continuing to supply baby leaf and aromatic herbs to the European market as well as to some non-European countries.
