      I am preparing the import of a very anti-oxidant rich food supplement from Papua, Indonesia. It is called Buah Merah, which means Red Fruit (Pandanus Conoideus) As this item is not recognized on the European market, it needs to go through the whole procedure of registration. It will take a lot of efforts to achieve that, but later on, a lot of people will benefit from it.
