"This year November was a meagre month in Europe for radish, but when winter got going and the open ground radish is off the market, the sales and prices shot up," continues Willem-Jan. "The prices towards Christmas were particularly high, as there is a lot of demand and less supply. Our radish travels across Europe, in which Switzerland, Austria and Germany as the main participants."

He looks towards this year with positivity. "I'm positive as far as cultivation and sales are concerned. The changing laws in Brussels about the use of pesticides are a headache for us, but this is our challenge for 2018, as Ortolanda is a flexible company, which can quickly play into changing conditions."
