"Important trend in industry is for increased quality"

Flanders Best frozen fruit and vegetables see consumption rise in US and Africa

The family company Flanders Best has since 1983 been engaged in the processing of frozen fruit and vegetables. Export Manager Samuel Blommaert explains that their strategy lies in West Flanders day fresh vegetables being processed immediately from the field. "We have an extensive range of frozen vegetables and fruit, and this continues to evolve by responding to customer demand. The wide range of IQF vegetables is always adapted to the culinary contemporary trends. This expands our selection of vegetable and mixed vegetables with refreshing and innovative combinations."



Emerging countries

According to Samuel there has been steady growth in the business. "This and our quality labels are a guarantee of top product. 90% of our products are exported worldwide." Samuel indicates that Europe remains the most important market. "However, countries in Southern and North America are coming up. In America and Africa there is increasing consumption of deep frozen vegetables and fruit. I expect that in the coming years, especially in countries with economic growth, the demand for frozen products will undoubtedly increase."

"An important trend in the sector is an increase in quality requirements which is certainly a positive development. Through our modern and automated machines we are able to ensure the quality," continues Blommaert. "Additionally the permanent quality control is very important in our production. Several packaging lines care for flexible packaging weights, both under own brands and private labels, and for retail, catering and industrial customers."
