Neuigkeiten & Veröffentlichungen

Friday 19 February is the last day of BIOFACH. Eosta did not host a stand, but we are present and open for meetings. During the opening ceremony a short video of Eosta was shown, which you can see below. Friday afternoon our CEO Volkert Engelsman will speak about True Cost in a BIOFACH eSESSION for which you are kindly invited. Do you want to meet up personally? Pay a visit to our Meatless Meeting Place to make an appointment.

Next week we are expecting the first organic pears from Argentina. We therefore asked Product Manager Ricardo Montoya to give his thoughts about the new season.

Eosta has renewed and improved its biweekly newsletter. We have upgraded to a new and modern platform (Presspage) which allows us more interactivity and multimedia content. In this way we hope to be of better service to you. From now on, the newsletter articles can also be found here in the eosta.com newsroom. If you are not receiving our newsletter yet, you’re welcome to subscribe.

The BIOFACH tradefair will be held online this year, from 17-19 February. Although Eosta will not be hosting a stand, we will contribute to BIOFACH in many ways. You are welcome to attend one of the three speeches by our CEO Volkert Engelsman, or meet up with us in our own Meatless Meeting Place – featuring our organic pigs François and Antoinette.

Don’t forget, within a couple of week it is Valentine’s Day! Common symbols are hearts, red roses and Cupid… We would like to add our delicious organic dates, passion fruit & more!

Mangos mit „Lohn(t) zum Leben“-Aufschlag im Obstregal? In den Niederlanden hat sich das in der zurückliegenden Saison kein einziger Händler getraut. In Deutschland und Österreich war man mutiger: ‚Ein paar Cent mehr, damit afrikanische Arbeiter von ihrem Lohn leben können? Da machen wir mit!‘ Auch die Verbraucher sind begeistert. Denn rund 100 Tonnen der Bio-Mangos mit „Lohn(t) zum Leben“-Mehrpreis wurden bei den teilnehmenden Händlern verkauft. Die dadurch gesammelte Prämie schließt die Lohnlücke bei den Mitarbeitern des Lieferanten Zongo Adama in Burkina Faso bereits zu 40 Prozent. Jetzt sollen auch „Lohn(t) zum Leben“-Avocados folgen.

When the first shipment of Colombian limes from "Persian Limes" arrived at organic fruit specialist Eosta in Waddinxveen last week, they came with a very nice surprise. On the 800 boxes of fresh green limes, almost a hundred postcards were stuck with personal messages from the farm workers of the valley of the river Poblanco. For them, the first shipment of Colombian limes to the Netherlands means a fresh new start for the Colombian countryside, after decades of poverty and guerrilla warfare.
