CREATING ASSOCIATIONS
DKG Group is a founding member and has been appointed as the Coordinator of The Green Club®, a Reputation Management Growers Association that consists of 21 member companies. These growers who are located all over Greece grow hydponically a number of different vegetables in greenhouses. They have perfected the growing environment for tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and lettuce by giving the plants exactly what they need – the perfect climate, the right amount of light, the right amount of nutrition, exact amount of water and carbon dioxide and the proper ventilation- which means that plants can grow strong, healthy and big. By those practices they have achieved a high reputation in the market. All members are certified against Integrated Crop Management processes (GLOBALGAP, AGRO 2-1&2-1) and Food Safety Management Systems (ISO 22000:2005).
