Our history
More than 80 years of experience: Know-How and performance you’ll notice!
The company TERRA
was established in 1933, the Latin name terra standing for Mother Earth, which provides all of our products.
The main activity
back in the early 1900’s was the export of South Tyrolean apples and pears to Germany.
After World War II the limited range of articles was extended to include products from other italian regions. Within a short amount of time TERRA’s offer included the most important fruit, vegetables as well as citrus fruit from Italy.
At the same time the export destinations multiplied. From delivering only to Germany we also started to export to Middle and Eastern European countries.
Since then the type of buyers has changed dramatically and in recent years our main clients have become supermarket chains.
The postwar period
required a lot of effort and resourcefulness. Changes, that occured in production as well as in distribution, were tremendous.
The sorting, packing and logistics, which are considered normal nowadays were unthinkable back then.
We’ve kept up with the times and managed to strenghten our roots in the production by nourishing our strong cooperation with leading agricultural companies.

Our sense of duty
tells us to meet our clients demands. This belief led us to collaborate only with the very best producers.
The careful selection of our producers has developed over the years, and now we can proudly affirm that we reached a considerable potential regarding quality and quantity of our products.
Our huge commitment made it possible for us to guarantee mixed deliveries with exceptional delivery times.
The cooperation
with private and cooperative companies allows us to control the products from the origin.
Our aim is to be a reliable partner for the end-consumer.
One of the most important aspects of the cooperation with our producers is our participation in the planning of the cultivation of the coming season, as well as our financial aid for the producers.
