Project Sourcing

We sow, you reap the benefit.

In business dealings, decisions involving a new product often play an important role, so we prefer to make these together with you before the start of each season. Then, having selected the right producer and seeds, the new product is grown and harvested according to our strict quality standards. It is then packed and delivered according to your needs and instructions. This approach guarantees maximum planning flexibility, product safety and – last but not least – supplying any new product line specified by the customer.
