The price difference between small and large sizes is also not that great. This is because there is not much demand, but still more than enough supply. "Currently, the celeriac is coming from cold storage. We are done with those that were stored in air-cooled barns", says Lies. Celeriac is available year round in the Netherlands. This is because early cultivation season and those sold out of storage follow up on each other. The early celeriac has been planted in recent weeks. "Somewhat later than usual because of the cold weather. I expect the harvest will be a bit later too - around the end of July."
Liedo has its own packing station. It meets the requirements of GlobalGAP and the Hygiene code for unprocessed vegetables. They have been active in the market for more than 40 years. "We are a smaller player on the market. This means we can continue distinguishing ourselves by delivering quality. We keep working at this", states Lies. "There is a lot of competition. Fortunately, we work with fixed suppliers and clients. There is not a lot of demand right now. If it picks up, we will be able to scale up quickly."
