Dutch Minister Adema of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality has recently presented the action plan "Growth of Organic Production and Consumption" to the Dutch Parliament, which includes the ambition of 15% organic farming area by 2030.
The growth of organic is part of an acceleration towards more sustainable food production.
Organic agriculture in the Netherlands can play an important role in the transition to a sustainable and future-proof agriculture. With this action plan, we as the central government set out the ambition to substantially increase organic production and consumption. The actions are a starting point to work together with chain parties.
This is a prerequisite and therefore this action plan is structured along three goals:

With this action plan, we as the central government set out the ambition to substantially increase organic production and consumption. The actions are a starting point to work together with chain parties.
This is a prerequisite and therefore this action plan is structured along three goals:
1. More organic consumption and a larger sales market
2. More organic production
3. More knowledge and innovation
The action plan is an implementation of the European Green Deal, which aims for an average of 25% organic agricultural area in 2030. Link to the action plan, in Dutch: https://lnkd.in/eDYNXaUe
Eosta is also very enthusiastic about this development and launch of the action plan. We look forward to achieving the goals in the action plan together.
Organic is part of the solution!
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.
