Thanks to our years of collaboration with growers both domestically and abroad, we feel confident in supplying wholesalers, distributors, and industry in Europe with both organic and conventional vegetables. Our focus is on delivering what we promise: ensuring the right quality at the requested time. We make sure all certifications are in order before products are delivered.
We place great value on visiting our growers and customers to explore new opportunities in products and cultivation together. This also allows us to critically assess whether our methods still align with current practices. Ideally, we work on a contractual basis so that all parties know what to expect.
Hortica stands for a reliable, straightforward, and transparent way of working. We focus on relationships and recognize that we are working with people. We embrace diversity and inclusivity, striving to create a work environment where everyone feels welcome and valued. This allows us all to enjoy what we do, letting everything else naturally fall into place. Relaxed work starts with knowing your partners and understanding their needs.
At Hortica, we take pride in our diverse and high-quality assortment of fresh vegetables, sourced through strong partnerships with dedicated growers. Our vegetables mainly come from the Netherlands, ensuring they are as fresh and flavorful as possible. All our vegetables are GlobalGAP certified. Additionally, we offer organic options with SKAL (BIO) and DEMETER certifications.
READ more about our veggiesAt Hortica, we aim for a form of agriculture that produces food without harming nature or contributing to climate change. Our goal is to develop an approach where farmers can earn decent incomes through nature-inclusive circular agriculture. It is the shared responsibility of all stakeholders to support farmers and nature in transitioning to sustainable agriculture, as society demands. We are open to new ideas and insights to manage our valuable land as effectively as possible because a healthy soil is essential for healthy crops.
Our commitment to making sustainable choices goes beyond what we do; it extends to how we do it. That’s why we have chosen to switch to Triodos Bank. Triodos is a bank that invests in projects contributing to a better world, such as sustainable agriculture, clean energy, and social initiatives. This vision perfectly aligns with our values and our mission to conduct business with respect for people and nature. Together, we are taking steps toward a more sustainable future.
Before Ben started with Hortica in 1990, he had already undertaken quite a journey. The reason for his success was perseverance and not giving up. However, he explicitly mentions that sometimes you also need a bit of luck. Since January 1, 2024, Mons has continued that journey. With his vast experience, he has extensive knowledge and full motivation to carry this forward with positive energy.
