Johan Vergote, BelOrta:

"Market raspberries and red berries under pressure"

In addition to strawberries, BelOrta still offers red berries and raspberries in thier soft fruit selection. According to Johan Vergote the market is now under pressure. "The weather is not very favourable, it is rather warm for the time of the year. It has not been going well with red berries for a while, but for that there is not immediately a clear explanation. This week it is a little more difficult with raspberries. I do not immediately expect a change in the market for the coming weeks. Unfortunately it is not only difficult with soft fruit, but top fruit is also under pressure."



Organic baby kiwis
At BelOrta raspberries have the largest share, but also blue, red and white berries, blackberries and baby kiwis conquer the market. John Vergote tells that the only market organic baby kiwis. "The conventional baby kiwis go via Veiling Hoogstraten. These are small volumes, compared to last year the area has remained the same. The sales of baby kiwis go differently than those of conventional soft fruit. The organic baby kiwis do not go to auction and have a standard price per season."

Growers of BelOrta produce a number of varieties on a total area of 9 HA. The organic baby kiwis of BelOrta are, as a standard, offered offered in a shaker of
125 gr., but other packs are also possible on request. The season runs till the end of November.
