Profile

 

Subject is a company with limited liability incorporated under Indian Companies Act in May 1993. The Company is a fully family owned enterprise of the Agrawal family.


The Company is born out of passion on the part of Mr. Nitin Agrawal to make a mark for himself in what was at the relevant time a sunrise industry in which India seemingly had natural advantages. Mr. Agrawal's passion was aided by the convictions about the potential of India based agro export operations on the part of Mr. Bharat Thosar, a qualified chartered accountant, who joined the top management team of Euro Fruits in its early stages. Mr. G.M. Agrawal, father of Mr. Nitin Agrawal and Chairman of the Company provided the much-needed morale strength to the newborn.


Mr. Nitin Agrawal received his formal training on post harvest management of horticultural products at the University of California, Davis. The post harvest management facility set up by the Company in 1993 was funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under its Agricultural Commercialization and Enterprise (ACE) project, implemented in India by leading development finance institution ICICI. Right from the word go, the accent of Euro Fruits was on setting up globally comparable infrastructure and processes. The post harvest facility is based at Vadner Bhairav in Nasik district, in the heart of grape capital of India, about 160 kilometers from Bombay. The facility is the largest post harvest management unit with packhouse, two precooling chambers and two cold storages. Apart from this self owned facility in Nasik, the Company also leases in four processing units in Sangli region.
