Since the introduction of Natural Branding in 2016, a lot has already been developed. More and more products can be provided with a logo and/or PLU code. Today, with many retail partners, we carry avocado, ginger, mango, limes, pumpkins, sweet potatoes… with Natural Branding. Both under Nature & More and private-label.
A recurring wish from customers is that it would become even more visible. This would significantly improve processing at the checkout and the recognisability as organic for the consumer. For example, in the past we have also started using double-sided branding.
Now Eosta is coming up with 'Inverted Natural Branding'. A technique in which we burn the logo or the code diapositively, i.e. we burn the surroundings but not the logo or the text. This way we simulate the form of a label, creating more contrast with the product's own color. Visibility of the lasered logo thus becomes much better and the customer can recognize the product as organic even better!
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.
