About Select Fruits

At Select Fruits, we don’t just buy and resell produce. We offer a whole range of services to help growers and retailers increase their revenue.

We take great pride in bridging the gap between fabulous growers and serious retailers in Romania. Here’s how:

We carefully select our grower partners with quality in mind, then help them expand their business in the European market by providing complementary services which take care of every aspect they might need resolved, be it customs, proper storage or logistics.

As our retail partner, you can relax knowing that your shelves will always (and we do mean always!) be stocked with the freshest looking, greatest tasting products all year round.
