食品問屋訪問研修

MERCAFIR -食品問屋訪問研修の風景-

Today we had a chance to visit Mercafir which is a vegetable market of Florence. In fact, it’s very big and you can also find the meat and fish market in the same area too.

However today we went with Professor Francesco and Arise our lovely translator to visit the vegetables section which already took us few hours to walk around.

Here is the place where vegetables from North and South arrived and distributed to Central of Italy. Florence is in a good location near Pisa airport hence there are imported vegetables and products sent to this market too.

For example, we saw a large storage place just for Bananas from South America. They arrive totally green which makes them easier to be transported.

Yuki was the lucky one who got to try both raw and ripe Bananas. And the rest of us got the ripe and sweet ones.

Thank you Yuki.
