In the Eastern European market, an important market for Simba, demand is currently the highest in the Baltic states and Scandinavia, "There is also some demand in Southeastern Europe," says Maurice, "but, for example, in the Romanian market there is a real problem with the prices. There is still plenty of local product available there."
Maurice expects a small rise in onion prices before the season ends, "Right now the prices are not very high (between 11-12 cents per kilo), but we expect a slight increase to come towards the end of the season." Simba had something created with their logo on it so they could attach it to the onion bags.
Simba Vegetables was established in April of last year. Located in Zwaagdijk, North Holland, The Netherlands the company focuses on exporting products that are grown within the region. Their products include: onions, potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, beets, parsnips and turnips. "We had a good year, with good results," concludes Maurice. You can find Maurice Ott and Robert Sijm at Fruit Logistica in Berlin this week on Thursday and Friday, "We look forward to meeting our customers, suppliers and colleagues."
