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.

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!
Last season, most European retailers shied away from it: putting Living Wage Mangoes up for sale. But German and Austrian shopkeepers were braver: "So it costs a little more, but the workers in Africa receive a Living Wage for it? We're in!" Luckily, consumers turned out to be enthusiastic. More than 100 tonnes of organic Living Wage mangoes were sold through only a few points of sale. And the result: the amount raised now closes 40% of the wage gap of Zongo Adama's warehouse workers in Burkina Faso. Eosta now has new plans for Living Wage avocados.
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.
