How It Works

To deliver fresh fruit from distant regions in top condition to its final destination, extensive knowledge of logistics is essential. Throughout the chain, quality and speed must be guaranteed, while keeping costs manageable. Transport and storage, whether refrigerated or ventilated, complete traceability—it requires a well-oiled logistical system to ensure high standards and low costs.

Growing

We source fruit directly from growers, ensuring quality and freshness from the source.

Packaging

After harvesting, the product is selected, packed, stored, and prepared for shipment at the packing house.

Logistics

The fruit is transported in refrigerated containers by truck to the port, where it is shipped to Europe and unloaded in our warehouse in the Netherlands. The cold chain remains uninterrupted the entire time.

Selling

From our warehouse in Barendrecht, we distribute pallets throughout Europe.

Our Team

As an independent importer, we oversee the entire process from grower to end customer. This ensures complete transparency in our supply chain, where food safety is guaranteed.

Besides years of experience, this also requires a high degree of expertise.

Our success is based on almost 35 years of experience, strategic expertise, in-depth market knowledge, and the professionalism of our partners. These are key conditions for a sustainable relationship, which benefits all parties involved.
