About US

DAR BLUE d.o.o.

DAR BLUE je osnovan 2011. godine od strane iskusnih proizvođača borovnice iz Hrvatske i Poljske s ciljem snabdijevanja globalnih kupaca svježom borovnicom najviše kvalitete. Kako bi postigli taj cilj, na tržište tijekom sezone plasiramo borovnicu sa vlastite plantaže u Čazmi, a nakon sezone uvoznu borovnicu naših poslovnih partnera. Plantaža u Čazmi je jedan od najmodernijih i tehnološki najnaprednijih poljoprivrednih poduhvata u regiji, djelomično sufinancirana pretpristupnim programom Europske unije – IPARD-om te M 4.1.1. Fonda za ruralni razvoj Europske unije.
