Knowing the company “TerraVita” for seven years, I was very impressed that they are constantly in search, they rely on quality products. In addition the company is very accessible to distributors. They are very easy to work with, this allows to meet when you need to resolve the issue quickly. We sell the company’s products throughout Ukraine for years and over the years we did not have any claims on their products. For us it is important that the company always offers new products. Today at the conference I’m curious to hear about innovations in the company’s portfolio. For example, I’m interested in announced cooperation between companies STEFES and Fader, negotiation of companies “TerraVita” and “Raiffeisen Ware Austria AG” because we sell their products, so we will wait for the results of the negotiations in order to know which products will appear on the market.

I’ve been personally know Karina Markarova for a long time – we started working together a dozen years ago. I’m amazed by tenacity, ambitions, team spirit of the company that is united by one idea – to use every opportunity to be in its niche on the market. Our sales are stable from year to year and customers who choose products from “TerraVita” are always satisfied. After all, they have a quality product for a reasonable price. “TerraVita” is growing from year to year. But I would like to wish them to avoid the problems that are inherent in large companies, – bureaucratic decision-making. So I want the company to continue growing, but to be always mobile and quickly make decisions.
