Our organization is a cooperative founded in 2011
The Agricultural Cooperative Organization (DP) Erysichi Paracheloitidos was founded in 2011 from producers of the wider region of Neochori, a village near by the city of Messolonghi.
The purpose of this union was the vertical integration of the cultivation of citrus fruits, that are developing dynamically in recent years on the plains of Achelous and Evinos rivers. The sediments of the two rivers and the mild climate of the Western Greece provides excellent conditions for the cultivation of citrus fruits and also give ideal organoleptic characteristics to our products.

We value the tradition of growing oranges and mandarins
The cultivation of citrus fruits in the region began many decades before, when producers started planting orange trees but only for juice purposes. With the passage of time, depending on market needs and in order to match at the food market, the region has created a critical mass of production with new citrus varieties perfectly adapted to the conditions of production.
These conditions, combined with the love and passion of the producers' group, helped to create the ACO Erysichi Paracheloitidos and also the namesake logo of packing fruits and vegetables, in our own facilities at Neochori, with production, packaging and marketing products of our region.
