“We’re right in the middle of the lime season, and the market is very strong”

There’s plenty happening at GreenFruit. “Just over two and a half months ago, we moved into a spacious new office in the AFL Barendrecht building on Peterselieweg in Ridderkerk. We refurbished the premises and moved in on 1 May. Thanks to the growth we’ve experienced over the past year, our previous office had already become too small, so it was time to relocate. Our new office gives us the space to continue developing GreenFruit in the years ahead,” says Melvin Middelham.

Organic ginger and turmeric from Peru
GreenFruit works in partnership with OML Agroinversiones, a Peruvian company specialising in the cultivation of organic ginger and turmeric. “We manage OML’s commercial activities in Europe and are now shipping around two to three containers a week to regular customers across the continent. At the same time, we still see plenty of room for further growth. OML is fully certified and works mainly with its own production, allowing us to respond quickly to customer demand. In other words, we are OML’s extension in Europe, and that partnership is now benefiting both companies. We have product available all year round.”

Brazilian limes
“We’re right in the middle of the lime season and, at the moment, everyone’s pleased with the market. Demand is good, and prices are even better. We’ve also seen strong growth in this product at GreenFruit this year. We source limes from both the São Paulo region and Bahia,” Melvin continues.

“Next week, we’ll also receive our first shipments of Brazilian ginger and, provided the quality meets expectations, supplies will continue through to November. The first containers of Kenyan Hass avocados are also on their way and are expected to arrive in the first week of August. As a team, we take on new challenges every day, leave no stone unturned, and continue working hard to further develop GreenFruit,” concludes Melvin.
