White turnip is a very low-calorie food, providing about 28 kcal per 100 grams. It consists of approximately 92% water, around 10% carbohydrates, minimal fats, low proteins, and a moderate amount of fiber.
The round turnip is produced from November to April, exclusively in greenhouses, covering an area of approximately 10 hectares. Sowing takes place from September to February. The cultivation cycle varies depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and photoperiod. The maturation cycle is about 40/60 days for autumn sowings and about 80/90 days for winter sowings.
The round turnip is harvested in the field, packaged in bunches, and then transferred in bins to the processing center where sorting and washing take place. Packaging involves the use of disposable wooden crates or reusable plastic crates.
The product is mainly marketed abroad, sold at major markets and supermarket chains. Transportation is carried out by specialized transport companies.
