“For all us small producers cooperation with large fruit producers is of existential importance. Without them we would not succeed, nor be able to sell our apples. Everything they do on a large scale, we do on a small scale,” said Dušan Stanišić, one of Serbia’s numerous small producers integrated into the supply chain of large companies.
