The Monicam company has been successfully operating and developing since 1991, and today it is one of the most successful private companies in Serbia and a leader in the fields it deals with.
The business portfolio first expanded from the energy and trade sectors to the construction material industry and later to the agriculture and fruit processing sector.Since 2015, the company has operated one of the largest, most modern and technologically advanced factories for freezing and drying fruit in Europe, and since the beginning of 2018, Monica has owned about 420 ha of agricultural land, leased for 30 years, on which raised their own plantations of “Oblačin” cherries and “Stanley” plums.INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN ALEKSINC WITH PLANTS FOR FRUIT PROCESSING BY FREEZING AND DRYING covers a land area of 6.17 ha and consists of 12 facilities for production, processing, storage, packaging, maintenance and administration. Located in the immediate vicinity of the international highway E-75, strategically and infrastructurally exceptionally positioned, given that it is on the road between Belgrade and Niš. The wider region – Southeast Serbia, in which it is located, is ideal in terms of the raw material base that surrounds it, as well as the existing preconditions for growing quality fruit, primarily cherries and plums, due to proven positive characteristics such as a high level of brix, natural aroma and taste.
Our products
Our company is situated right at the heart of the raw material base. We source the best fruit from our trusted suppliers all around Serbia, particularly in areas with high quality soil and lots of sun exposure. We pay special attention to our raw material suppliers, with whom we cooperate closely through co-financing fresh fruit production and ongoing educational work. This entails organising regular workshops and seminars where our experts can distribute useful educational materials and discuss best practices with our suppliers, with the single goal of optimising product quality and satisfying the final consumer.
The main fruit crops with which we build a strategic presence on the market are cherries and plums, while raspberries, blackberries and strawberries are periodically represented.Annually, over 2,000 tons of first-class deep-frozen BK cherries and over 1,000 tons of first-class deep-frozen machine-cut plums find their way to our customers.We market more than 600 tons of top quality pitted prunes annually.
SOUR CHERRY
Sour cherries have many health benefit properties, from suppressing the risk of breast cancer (due to high melatonin content) to blood regulation and reduction of arthritis pain and the risk of heart attack. In 100 grams of sour cherries there are around 50 calories and high doses of vitamin A and C.
PLUM
Today, there are up to 40 different plum species that exist, of which only 2 varieties are grown for commercial use. A single raw plum is 87% water with a 100 gram plum being only 46 calories, and very rich in vitamin C.
DRIED PLUM
They are a very rich source of vitamin K responsible for maintenance of a good cardiovascular system, and vitamin B which is very important in cell metabolism.
