Serious financial measures needed to break through Dutch dilemmas

My name is Johannes and I grow organic oranges, lemons and mandarins for Nature & More in the East Cape province of South Africa. Our company grows organic citrus together with one other independent organic farmer. Thank you for buying our fruit!

As always, this summer Eosta will be supplying organic Nature & More Citrus / Lemons from South Africa, Peru & Chile. We thought it would be interesting to check in with Citrus Product Manager Robert van Melle.

Volkert Engelsman, CEO of organic produce specialist Eosta, has joined an influential Dutch think tank in a petition to the to-be-formed Dutch government to expand the laws on Duty of Care to social and environmental issues. According to a plan supported by 25 university professors of Corporate Law, (supervisory) directors of companies should be obligated by law to formally report on their company’s social and environmental impact.

Lots of delicious organic products on offer, this week for example:

Serious financial measures needed to break through Dutch dilemmas

Hi, my name is Kara Connor and we grow and export premium organic dates from California. The Kohl Family Farm has been growing medjool dates on its 500 acre ranch in Coachella Valley, California for almost two decades. It's a real family farm as it has been in the family for 4 generations. The decision to farm organically was not a difficult one for us, as we have always believed that this way of farming was the right way to treat the earth.
