A decade for Ravifruit in Maldives
It has been over a decade since Ravifruit was first introduced to the Maldives, through its partnership with BBM. Over the years, chefs from different parts of the world have come to the Maldives, bringing their experience, culture and skills acquired throughout their careers along with their experience with Ravifruit. This has led to an increased demand for Ravifruit products.
“Infusing this to the corporate doctrine, the company facilitates a diverse range of industry training and exchange programmes for training and industry exposure to enhance this industry in line with the best in the world,” says Mohamed Mazloom, the CEO of BBM, who leads the operation at BBM with a philosophy of celebrating the best in the industry.
Chef François visits different resorts in the Maldives to conduct demonstrative workshops and share his expertise in the application of Ravifruit products. Besides marketing its products through these workshops, Ravifruit seeks to promote the culinary industry in the Maldives, as well as to promote the Maldives as a destination, for the culinary delights available in its hotels and resorts.
