Funghi Funghi BVBA 'open for business'

The new Funghi Funghi BVBA is 'open for business'. The specialist in hand picked fresh mushrooms, specially cultivated mushroom varieties and other related products, has big ambitions. "To start with we have a strong international network on the purchasing side," says Corné Verboom. "We have daily contact with our suppliers in the various wooded areas of Europe. Not just with them, but also with those in the (marl) caves, where passionate growers produce exclusively for us. We have a team of people who know this niche market to a T. They're right on top of it. It is and remains a business. We also opted for a logistical fruit and vegetable hot spot of 3,500 m2 in Meer for out logistics and production facilities."

But there is more from Meer. Corné: "Our ambition in the long term is, without any form of arrogance, to become an 'authority' in the area of wild and specially cultivated mushrooms. We want to fulfill an advisory and informing role towards the final users of our products: chefs, consumers, lovers of life. To bring the gastronomic possibilities of mushrooms to wider attention. And to be of defining importance for our customers; international traders and companies in the food and agrarian industry in the widest sense."

Funghi Funghi will emphatically use Marketing and Communication, but also gastronomic knowledge to realise this goal. "At Funghi Funghi it is about 'tasting and enjoying', before the business side. And with the slogan 'Fungi are fun! Fun to cook. Fun to taste', we're really saying it all." according to Corné Verboom. Another ambition of those at Funghi Funghi is sustainability. "Taking real responsibility for the processes at the source. The forests of Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Baltic States and Mediterranean areas. By supporting and informing the harvesters during their work, because picking mushrooms at the right and most responsible time is crucial. To protect the existence of vital and vulnerable ecosystems. An essential condition to enjoy these small miracles. Now and in the future."

Funghi Funghi will officially start in August. The company is now 'Open for Business' in terms of staffing and operational facilities.
