Wholesaler from Essen satisfied with Dutch tomatoes

Due to the increased supply the prices of citrus fruit have slightly decreased. “We import Spanish and Turkish citrus fruit,” explains Karahan, “A successful combination.” And while Mustafa Karahan receives the largest part of his citrus fruit from Spain, he notices a slight increase in the Turkish citrus fruit. “The Turkish producers try and develop a lot. A process has been started and is clearly visible. The quality of the supply increases every day,” states the expert.

In addition to the tomatoes and citrus fruit, herbs, such as parsley and dill, and spinach and little gem lettuce which the wholesaler sells are in high demand. And recently the wholesaler has expanded his range. “To meet the demand of our Middle Eastern customers we have expanded our range in that direction,” states Karahan, “It is our goal that our customers can find 80% of the products they need with us. That is why we expanded our large range of fresh food with dry goods and several oriental spices.”
