About PDM Agro-Fruit
Home to the sweetest fruit in the region is the small town ofPudarci, situated on the sunny banks of the Danube River, only 40 kilometres from Belgrade. In 2012, Pudarci saw the establishment of PDM Agro-Fruit, today an undisputed leader among fruit buyers, distributors and exporters across Serbia.
Year after year, PDM Agro-Fruit has grown from strength to strength in achieving our mission of uniting as many fruit producers as possible from all over Serbia; presenting our products in both the domestic and foreign markets; and ensuring that quality, above all, was the main feature of packages that bear the trademark ‘Healthy from Serbia’.
