The peaches produced in the area of Naoussa
were identified as PDO products after the
efforts and suggestions of the Agricultural
Cooperative of Naoussa some years ago
and are the only peaches Europe recognized

by the E.U. with a certificate of Protected
Designation of Origin

communicate with this movement and what was the reaction of the
markets?
Since our peaches have upper quality and they are not of the
same range as the others, it is necessary to have their own name
and image. Under the brand Naougusta we sell exclusively premi-
um quality varieties, with very sweet flavor and same organolep-
tic characteristics, all along the season. In other words, Naougus-
ta means a peach as the consumers want it.
We have to admit, though, that even us, we did not wait such a
success! Both in Greece and abroad, in England, S. Germany, Bal-
kans, Arabic counties etc. our clients and other members of the
market, welcomed our initiative, giving an extreme popularity to
Naougusta peaches.

Tell us some things about the other fruits that AC Naousa cultivate?
As I said, we cultivate also nectarines, plums, cherries and ki-
wis. We are strong enough at the cherry sector and we are doing
a turn towards kiwi cultivation. Nevertheless, the nectarine cul-
tivation is bigger and more expanded, since it is expressed a high-
er demand for them.

The town of Naoussa:

The Agricultural Cooperative of Naoussa is situated in
Naoussa, Imathia. The town is built 400 metres up on the slopes
of Mountain Vermio. Its abundant springs, the favorable climate
and its fertile slopes have led the habitants of Naoussa to devel-
op the agricultural sector from the very early years and the re-
lated industry as well.
