Last Tuesday, an information meeting on developments surrounding the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork policy and the Biodiversity strategy was held by the Dutch fruit and vegetable sector. Increasing the sustainability of the food system will have significant consequences but is still in its infancy. The goal of 25% organic produce has wide support in Europe, despite resistance from conventional parties. In the Netherlands, the fresh produce sector will now first focus on sustainable packaging and the reduction of food waste. The first concrete legislative proposals are expected in the summer of 2022.

First of all, we wish you a happy 2022!

The fact that more and more people are buying dates comes as no surprise. Consumers are looking for great tasting, healthy alternatives for sugar and the multi-functional date does not disappoint. Our organic Medjool dates are considered the king of dates.

Together with Robert van Melle, our product manager Grapes and Citrus, we take a peak at the upcoming grape season. Robert recently visited our organic growers in South Africa to see how the crops were doing and came home with good news.
