Owoce Warzywa

What Owoce Warzywa does

Owoce Warzywa Klimkiewicz Sp. z o.o. is a Polish producer group (Sp. z o.o.) that consolidates member farms to grow, store, and sell high-quality dessert fruit. Founded on 1 January 2011 and headquartered in Wtelno, Poland, the group operates more than 250 hectares of orchards producing approximately 10,000 tonnes of apples, pears, plums, and cherries annually. It is structured as a cooperative-style association of six member farms/entities rather than a single corporate orchard, with members including Franciszek Kochański, Wojciech Klimkiewicz, Marek Bukolt, Grzegorz Pacholski, Karolina Klimkiewicz, and Wtelsad sp. z o.o.

The core product set spans nine dessert apple varieties (Boskop, Elstar, Gala, Gloster, Golden Delicious, Idared, Jonagold, Jonagored, Šampion) and five pear varieties (Konferencja, Lukasówka, Komisówka, Bonkreta Williamsa, Faworytka/Klapsa), with plums and cherries rounding out the portfolio. Production follows the Integrated Production of Fruit (IPO) methodology—an eco-oriented system that minimizes crop protection chemicals and is renewed annually via residue testing. Post-harvest, the group uses controlled-atmosphere cold storage (low O2, elevated CO2 and N2) and the SmartFresh Quality System (approved by the European Commission in 2005) to extend shelf life and enable year-round supply. Members hold GlobalG.A.P. food safety certification.

The business model is direct B2B sales of fresh fruit to domestic Polish retailers and to international buyers across Western Europe, the Far East, India, Arab countries, Vietnam, and North Africa. The group operates in-house sorting and preparation facilities capable of producing large, reproducible batches that meet export specifications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated bilaterally. The group self-identifies as the largest pear producer in Poland and has received multiple national and regional agricultural awards.
