The cultivation is 99% transplanted, cultivating the seedlings from the month of April to the first \/ second week of June. The growing cycle varies between 90 days for early varieties and 120 days for the late varieties. The industrial tomato crops need to be irrigated frequently, because the tomato is composed of water for the 94% of its weight: Tuscan companies associated to ASPORT all use the techniques of drip irrigation (micro irrigation) through the hose (driplines) and this technique is combined to the fertigation, namely the administration of nutrients via the above-mentioned equipment.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The water used for irrigation comes from very deep aquifers through the use of artesian wells: the water samples are analyzed every 6 months resulting perfectly drinkable. The same agricultural techniques are also used for BIO \/ organic crops, obviously with the obligation to use only products approved by the European regulations. The plants of industrial tomatoes are excellent for crop procession, thus integrating perfectly into the agricultural landscape; besides, the tomato has a highly developed root system, of about 50 cm, and is perfectly suited to the mild and windy climate of Tuscany in different climatic conditions.<\/p>\n

Agricultural terrains in the Val di Cornia, Val di Chiana, Grosseto, Maremma,<\/strong> Siena\u2019s and Pisa\u2019s countrysides enjoy the benefits from their proximity to the sea and to the mountains. They are rich in minerals, such as phosphorus and potassium, and can boast the use of the deepest aquifers for the irrigation of the fields, thanks to the artesian wells. These areas have clay-sandy soils with high permeability, ideal for preventing water stagnations and, consequently, the proliferation of mold.<\/p>\n

ASPORT<\/h3>\n

ASPORT is an organization of fruit and vegetable producers established in 1971 with an operating area that stretches across the Tuscan territory and also in other regions of Italy. For over 40 years a leading association in the cultivation of industrial tomatoes, now it has more than 600 farms including 7 cooperatives. The ASPORT ensures jobs and income for member companies that produce respecting the environment and the consumers\u2019 health, thanks to a careful variety selection aimed at obtaining good production, in terms of quantity and quality, and the application of rules for integrated and organic production.

The project \u201cRosso Toscano\u201d (Tuscan Red) is the first network contract born in Italy to enhance the supply chain of canned and preserved tomatoes, thus concluding the process begun in 2012 with the Region of Tuscany and the president Enrico Rossi to close the production chain. Jointly with ASPORT (Association of Tuscan fruit and vegetable producers) and CTT (Consorzio Trasporti Toscano) Petti created a project for the support, development and innovation of the entire supply chain of the Tuscan tomatoes. The network contract, Rosso Toscano, is another tangible sign and support that Petti is providing to the territory on a daily basis.

The goal is clear: organizing all the processes of transformation of the raw material together with the agricultural part, the ASPORT, that has been providing industrial tomatoes of excellent quality for more than thirty years to our plant in Terme Venturina (LI). A raw material now certified and guaranteed through the Agriqualit\u00e0 certification mark issued by the Tuscany Region. The purpose is also to share facilities and resources for a modern integrated logistics with CTT, the transport company that feeds the plant during the summer season with fresh tomatoes from all farms distributed in Tuscany.<\/span><\/p>\n

Production process<\/span><\/h2>\n

When reaching the right degree of ripeness the tomato is gathered in the fields through self-propelled harvesting machines equipped with optical switch. From there they are loaded on trucks dedicated to the transportation to the Petti plant. Within 6 hours from the harvest the tomato is processed in the plant of Venturina Terme, in the province of Livorno. Here follow various stages of production, in particular the tomato is processed at low temperature. Thanks to this unique method the products of Petti keep intact the bright red color and the taste of freshly harvested tomato.
