Yami Fruits, a company specializing in strawberries and blueberries owned by four Romanian entrepreneurs, is constructing a facility for fruit processing and packaging in the commune of Şoimuș, located in Hunedoara County. The funding comes from the Just Transition scheme, which supports areas affected by decarbonization, as reported.

The cultivation of blueberries and other forest fruits in Romania has rapidly expanded in recent years; however, the statistical offices’ obsolete classification systems do not account for these newer crops. As a result, the National Institute of Statistics (INS) cannot supply accurate nationwide production figures, even though specialized agricultural departments are furnishing local data at the county level. It is reported that more than 6,000 tons of berries are gathered each year in Romania, with approximately 85% being exported.

Ciprian Virgil Munteanu, who works as an economist and is associated with Yami Fruits, stated, “We aim to construct a facility for sorting, processing, and packing fruits into containers weighing either 250 grams or 500 grams. Since our products are perishable, it’s essential that we sort the fruit prior to packaging.”
The firm is under the control of Ciprian Virgil Munteanu, holding 60% of the shares, followed by Graţian Lupu with 15%, Marius Florin Pădure contributing another 15%, and Răzvan Nita owning the remaining 10%.
The public records indicate that the firm declared a revenue of RON 31 million (approximately EUR 6.2 million) for the year 2023, marking an increase of 66% from the prior year, along with a net income of RON 724,000.
