Retail procurement · Slovenia · planned seasonal supply
Reliable vegetable supply for retail starts before harvest
For category managers, procurement and distribution teams, Kumer 1687 brings production planning, in-house packing, traceability, cold handling and central-warehouse delivery into one supplier relationship. The objective is simple: predictable seasonal programmes and fewer operational surprises.
What procurement can assess in two minutes
The essential supplier facts are visible before a first commercial conversation. Final volumes, specifications and delivery calendars are confirmed directly with the buyer.
Three questions every fresh-produce buyer needs answered
Can the programme be planned?
Kumer works with annual planning and crop-specific seasonal windows. The website shows indicative availability; commercial quantities and dates are agreed with the buyer.
Can quality and origin be verified?
Products are traceable through LOT and GERK records. The current published GLOBALG.A.P. certificate scope on this website is parsley, and its status can be checked independently.
Can the supplier respond when conditions change?
Fresh produce is biological and weather-dependent. Procurement therefore has a direct commercial contact in Jaka Hanželič, keeping decisions and communication short.
How a retail programme is built
Reliable supply is a sequence of decisions, not a promise made on dispatch day.
Demand & specification
Crop, target format, quality expectations, seasonal window, indicative volume and warehouse requirements.
Seasonal plan
Production and packing are planned around the agreed programme and realistic crop windows.
Pre-season confirmation
Before supply starts, the operational requirements, forecast rhythm and delivery logic are reconfirmed.
Harvest, pack & dispatch
Harvest readiness, in-house packing, LOT coding, cold storage and dispatch are coordinated as one flow.
Review & next cycle
Quality findings, delivery performance and next-season requirements feed into the following planning cycle.
Current retail programme
Retail availability is stated crop by crop. Being shown elsewhere on the website does not automatically mean that a crop is offered to supermarket chains.
Core retail crop

Main retail format: 100 g under the Kumer 1687 brand. Indicative season on this website: May–November. The current published GLOBALG.A.P. scope is parsley.

Clear scope is part of reliability
Kumer prefers precise claims to broad promises. The current retail product is Kumer 1687 branded; private label is not offered at present. Website season windows are indicative, not contracted capacity. The current published GLOBALG.A.P. scope is parsley only. Final commitments are made directly and specifically with the buyer.

Certification procurement can verify
The current Kumer record published on this website shows parsley under GLOBALG.A.P. IFA v6 SMART Plants. The certificate status can be checked in the GLOBALG.A.P. Supply Chain Portal using the GGN. We deliberately do not extend this certification claim to Valerianella or other crops.
Retail experience in Slovenia
Kumer confirms supply relationships with major Slovenian retail networks including SPAR and Mercator. This experience includes the operational disciplines that matter in fresh produce: planning, packing, traceability, customer audits, cold handling and central distribution. Commercial scope is confirmed directly with each partner.
Neighbouring-country cooperation
Kumer also works with partners in neighbouring countries on production technology, know-how and market development. Territory, capacity and commercial plans are discussed directly rather than published as unsupported commitments.
Procurement questions
