German retailer Lidl has over 130 Romanian suppliers for its fresh produce section and up to 70% of the produce it sells in summer is local, a company official said.
“Over 130 of our fruit and vegetable suppliers are Romanian and their number is growing. Consumers like Romanian products,” said Claudius Kisfaludy, produce acquisition manager at Lidl Romania.
