Our area
Skydra is a city located in the Prefecture of Pella, in northern Greece. It is a traditional and historical city with a rich cultural heritage. The area around Skydra is known for agriculture and the production of agricultural products.
The microclimate of the Skydra region, located in the Prefecture of Pella in Greece, is one of the main factors contributing to the production of superior quality fruit in the region. Microclimate is a subsystem of the general climate that is influenced by various factors, such as geographic location, elevation, air currents, land surface, and geology. In the case of Skydra, these factors have an extremely positive impact on the agricultural production of the area for the cultivation of top varieties of peaches, nectarines, apricots, cherries, pears and apples
The goal is Quality, Support and Discretion
The “NEW BEE” Cooperative is an example of dedication to rural development and the promotion of Greek agriculture. The main objective of the cooperative is to provide seamless assistance to its members during all stages of the agricultural process, from cultivation and harvesting to the receipt and disposal of their products.
The cooperative’s experienced staff play a critical role in supporting its members. They provide valuable advice and sound directions for optimal crop management and ensuring high quality products. In addition, through the phytopharmacy it has, it provides producers with the opportunity to obtain agricultural supplies at very affordable prices, strengthening agricultural activity.
However, the most important goal of the cooperative is to promote the excellent quality and nutritional value of the products in the market. From the initial cultivation to harvesting, standardization and distribution, the cooperative uses the most modern methods in order to ensure the high quality of the products. This allows it to take a leading position in the field of agricultural cooperatives in the Prefecture of Pella.
The triptych of the success and continuous development of the cooperative “THE NEW BEE” consists of three important pillars: quality product, universal support and happy members. With this philosophy, the cooperative stands out in the field of agriculture and contributes to the upgrading of Greek agriculture and its promotion at an international level.
Facilities of the “NEW BEE” Cooperative: Storage, Sorting and Packaging of Fruit
The “NEW BEE” Cooperative has impressive facilities that cover a total area of 24,400 square meters. These facilities play a critical role in the successful operation of the cooperative and the management of the agricultural products produced by its members.
The central point of the facilities is the industrial building, which occupies 5,577 square meters. This building is used for many different functions related to the receipt, storage, quality grading and packaging of the fruit produced by the members of the cooperative.
The permanent staff employed in the facilities number 4 people. These employees are responsible for managing the various functions that take place in the industrial building. However, during the peak season, when the amount of fruit received increases significantly, the staff increases dramatically to around 60 people. These additional workers assist in the efficient receipt, storage, sorting and packaging of the fruit, thus enabling the processing of large quantities of produce during the harvest season.
The cooperative’s facilities are the basis for ensuring the high quality of the products produced by its members and their efficient marketing. This contributes to the success and development of the cooperative “NEA MELISSA” and to serving farmers in an efficient way.
Application of computerization and computerization systems
The implementation of the most established systems related to the computerization and computerization of the cooperative is a vital factor for the improvement of the services provided by the cooperative to the cooperating companies. Cooperatives are a key vehicle for economic development and improving the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises, and the integration of modern technologies into their operation has significant implications.
One of the main systems used is the Cooperative Information and Management System (CMS). This system enables effective management of members, resources and activities of the cooperative. It provides capabilities to automate processes, monitor financial performance, and analyze data for decision making. By implementing this system, the cooperative can improve its efficiency, reduce its operating costs and increase transparency in the management of its resources.
In addition, the Production Process Management System (PMS) is another important tool for the increased productivity of cooperatives. This system allows efficient management of production processes, quality control, storage and distribution of products, as well as monitoring of production performance. This helps to increase productivity, reduce losses and improve the quality of products and services.
The above systems are not only management tools, but are also important tools for improving communication and cooperation within and outside the cooperative. They allow easier access to information and the exchange of data with other businesses and organizations. This enhances cooperation and networking, offering new opportunities for the development of businesses working with the cooperative.
Overall, the implementation of the most successful systems for the computerization and computerization of the cooperative is a catalyst for the improvement of the services provided by the cooperative to the cooperating companies. They help increase efficiency, reduce costs, improve quality and enhance collaboration, creating an environment where cooperatives can grow and thrive in a rapidly changing global economy.
