ABOUT US
FORMATIVE YEARS
Economic Cooperative was founded in 2006 in Subotica, Serbia, with the initial idea of establishing an economical and effective nursery production of fruit plants, rose plants, ornamental plants, and propagating material offering wholesale quantities of certified and healthy fruit trees, berry plants, grapevine, rose plants, ornamental plants, and other types of plants.
Having in mind the rich history and tradition of fruit tree growing in East Europe and especially the Balkan region, but also we saw that the production after many years had to reorganize, we decided to form a production that included tradition, knowledge, experience, and a modern approach to nursery production and be a fair partner in an emerging Europe market.
Together with our partners, we saw a big potential to make advancements in modern fruit trees, ornamental plants, and propagating material production, and offer the market a quality that one of the richest centers of genetic diversity of fruit species in Europe has to offer. This is how Economic Cooperative has formed as a company and a brand that plant growers but also distributors can rely on for a wholesale stock of good quality planting material.

Our production chain is economical and centralized, which allows us to monitor the quality and act systematically and accordingly for every fruit tree, ornamental plant, grapevine, and propagating material we produce. We can meet the standards and expectations of our international customers for each planting product we deliver.

Our production is equipped with packing facilities, cold storage, and warehouses situated next to our production sites in Serbia, Bosnia, and North Macedonia where the preparation, packing process, storing in a controlled environment, loading, and delivery of the plants to our international customers is being realized.
Our production includes good agricultural practices, irrigation systems, organized production and control processes, as well as storing, preparing, and packing in modern and controlled areas. Our goal is to deliver high-quality plants that meet both industry standards and customer expectations, by using the latest technology and practices under close control.
During the whole year, our team at Economic Cooperative is negotiating and selling fruit trees, berry plants, grapevine plants, rose plants, ornamental plants, and more, while during autumn and spring, we are realizing sales, organizing export, and delivering plants to our buyers internationally.
