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.”

The new season for organic Hicaz pomegranates from Turkey has got off to a promising start. Following last year’s limited harvest, expectations among our two regular producers, Göknur and Başak Tarım, are clearly more positive. Our Product Manager, Joep van Koevorden, recently visited both growers to assess the new harvest and discuss the prospects for the coming season.
From a vast organic orchard in Kozan to family land with centuries of history in Söke: behind our Turkish pomegranates lie two very different stories. Discover how Göknur and Başak Tarım each go about growing organic Hicaz pomegranates in their own way.
From warming teas and golden milk to fresh shots, smoothies and curries: ginger and turmeric are versatile ingredients that are perfect for the autumn and winter seasons.
