Biosphera specialised in Spanish organic stone fruit

The Spanish company Biosphera has been in existence since 2004, but from the beginning of this year there is a sales office in the Netherlands as well. Leon Hijweege, responsible for the sales in the Netherlands and Belgium, has a very long experience in the organic trade. "Biosphera has mainly specialized in the supply of Spanish organic stone fruit."

 

"80% of our supply is stone fruit. In addition we also offer white and green asparagus, melons, pumpkins and strawberries. The first products will arrive in the Netherlands in a month' time. The stone fruit will be offered from the middle of May."

 

The most important customers of Biosphera are wholesalers and supermarkets. At the moment the Spanish company already supply English and German retailers. "We are quite positive about this year" Leon tells. "The production looks good, so that we can serve our market well. In other countries we notice a good demand for organic stone fruit and we expect this in the Netherlands and Belgium as well."

All products are marketed under organic hallmark Biosphera. We intend to tell the story of the grower to our clients, so that they know where the fruit comes from."

 

Biosphera is a group of organic Spanish growers, who together organized the sale in Spain. From a central point in Exctremadura products are collected, sorted, packed if required and sent all over Europe.

 

Biosphera last week visited the Biovak and will have its own stand at the Fruit Logistica and Biofach in February. "Through these fairs we come into contact with present and new customers and make our growers better known."
