On Monday 1 March, Dutch daily newspaper Trouw featured a big interview with Eosta CEO Volkert Engelsman. The interviews discusses why organic market share in the Netherlands is lacking so far behind (only 3.3%) compared to the rest of Europe. Volkert Engelsman reflects on the issue from 30 years of experience. “Internationally the food market is now all about two words: health and vitality. That is the new normal. But Dutch agriculture has focussed on one thing only since World War II: more kilograms per hectare. This has led to a severe case of mysofobia for organic agriculture”. “As a result, Germany, France and the Scandinavian countries are now leading the way, and the Netherlands follow far behind. Netherlands is only a minor sales country for us.”

Organic avocado supply from Mexico is building well, with good volumes and availability expected over the coming months. Currently, availability is strongest in the larger calibres [14–18], while smaller calibres are expected to become more available as the season progresses.
Behind our Mexican Organic Raingrown® avocados is Avova, a family business in Michoacán that Eosta has been working with for many years.
With the European blueberry season gradually coming to an end, the first organic volumes from South America are on their way. Peru will take the lead in the coming weeks, followed by supply from our long-standing growers in Argentina.
