“More and more sprouts are sent to overseas destinations as well. This year, that can be seen in the US, where production is low but prices are high, so that we become interesting with air cargo. However, in totality we’re not talking about large volumes. The large volumes are sold in Europe,” Menno says. “Sizing of the sprouts was fairly large, and is now becoming a bit smaller, and the advantage of that was that you could go anywhere with them. Finally, so-called specialities such as purple sprouts and kalettes are also becoming increasingly more popular. Our strategy is that everything we plant is dictated by customer demand.”
