The Egyptian season has kicked off: this week, the first container of organic sweet potatoes is leaving our long-term grower, with whom we’ve been working for years. He ensures consistent quality and sustainable, organic cultivation. This versatile tuber is available year-round - with Egypt playing a key role in supply during this time of year.

Sweet potatoes are rapidly gaining popularity across Europe. Younger generations and urban families are increasingly opting for them – driven by health trends, social media inspiration, and a growing desire for more variety in their diets.
Besides being delicious and versatile, the tuber is naturally rich in fibre, beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamin C, potassium and has a low glycaemic index - a perfect addition to a healthy diet.
Are you a sweet potato lover? Here is a simple summer tip for the BBQ: rub sweet potato slices with olive oil, grill, and finish with sea salt and coriander. Simple, nutritious and surprisingly delicious.
Besides sweet potato, organic ginger also plays a leading role in the Eosta-root assortment. Thanks to sourcing from China, Thailand, Peru and Brazil, we can supply year-round.
New in our range: Fairtrade Peruvian ginger. It excels not only in quality, but also in social impact. The ginger is grown by a cooperative of 32 farmers. The Fairtrade price and premium allow them to invest in farming tools, education, school kits, access to healthcare, and future plans for a crating and sorting facility and conversion to Demeter cultivation. A tangible example of how important this premium is for social development.

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.
