The ARKA Production Process
Eight carefully designed steps ensure quality at every stage, from seed to shipment.
Harvesting
Our agricultural engineers carefully inspect our own and contracted farms to ensure only the highest-quality crops are selected. Strawberries are hand-picked at peak ripeness, sorted, and transported safely for processing.
Selection & Washing
Products pass through a two-stage selection process and a three-stage washing system to remove dirt, debris, and pesticide residues before air drying.
Freezing
Products are rapidly frozen at -40°C using advanced IQF freezing tunnels, preserving their natural taste, color, aroma, texture, and nutritional value.
Packaging
Products are packed in premium retail or bulk packaging with customizable labeling while maintaining storage temperatures of -18°C or lower.
Cold Storage
Finished products are stored in advanced cold storage facilities at a stable temperature of -18°C, ensuring freshness until shipment.
Shipping
Products are transported worldwide by sea or air using temperature-controlled containers with continuous monitoring throughout transit.

Our Quality Journey
Every step in our process is designed to maintain quality and freshness from harvest to delivery.
Harvesting
Our agricultural engineers carefully inspect both our owned and contracted farms to ensure only the highest-quality crops are selected. With a production capacity of up to 100 tons per day, we meet the demands of global markets. Strawberries are hand-picked at peak ripeness by evaluating their color, firmness, and sweetness. The harvested fruits are carefully sorted before being transported for processing, ensuring exceptional freshness and quality.
Selection & Washing
Our processing line includes a two-stage selection system followed by a three-stage washing process. Strawberries are cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and pesticide residues before passing through an air-drying system that removes excess moisture for optimal freezing quality.
Freezing
Products are rapidly frozen at -40°C using advanced IQF freezing tunnels. This technology preserves the product's original taste, color, aroma, texture, and nutritional value. After freezing, products undergo optical and laser sorting to ensure the highest quality standards.
Packaging
Products are packed in high-quality retail or bulk packaging to preserve freshness and prevent damage. Every package is labeled with essential product information and can be customized according to customer requirements. Containers are maintained at -18°C or below during handling.
Storage
Finished products are stored in eight advanced cold storage facilities with a total capacity of 8,000 tons. The warehouses maintain a constant temperature of -18°C or below, ensuring product freshness and quality until shipment.
Shipping
Products are shipped by sea or air depending on customer requirements. Temperature-controlled containers are carefully inspected and monitored throughout transportation to ensure safe and timely delivery.
