Eosta procurement manager Peke van Beek would like to inform you that the overseas pear season has been started! The first shipment from Argentina by boat is ready for transport to your warehouse. We have delicious varieties like (Demeter) Williams and Red Bartlett. Both quality and quantity look very promising. Contact your Eosta account manager for all details and make sure you have your program scheduled as the European season comes to an end from mid March.
Nature & More grower Sergio shared some photo's and a video from the packhouse in operation. He runs this familiy business in Argentina. Sergio: “We produce, process and market organic pears and apples from the high valley of the Negro river and Neuquén, in Argentina. We grow in line with biodynamic agriculture, building on the ideas of Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy. Similar to organic farming, we don’t use industrial fertilizers, pesticides and week-killers. On top of that we use various herbal and mineral additives for compost and field spray and we make use of an astrological sowing and planting calendar. The starting point is that both animal welfare, the environment and fair trade are taken into account when producing food”.

The overseas grape season starts in mid-December, but planning begins now. Demand for organic grapes remains strong and our growers need early visibility on the volumes they can reserve for fixed programmes. By aligning programmes in advance, we can secure organic volumes more effectively and are also in a stronger position to offer competitive pricing.
Along the Orange River in South Africa’s Northern Cape lies Carpe Diem, a long-standing and trusted partner for our organic grapes. Owner Gog van der Colff took over the family business in 2000 and made the deliberate decision to switch to organic farming in 2006. What began as a step that not everyone was initially convinced by has developed into a progressive organic farm producing grapes, pecans and raisins.
El Niño is clearly affecting the South American mango season this year. Higher temperatures and unusual rainfall patterns are disrupting flowering, making availability and harvest timing less predictable.
