Who is Harvest House?
Harvest House is one of the largest growers associations specialising in fruit vegetables of The Netherlands. With a combined acreage of more than 900 hectares, Harvest House producers are among the leading producers of tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers. Not just through economy of scale but also agricultural innovation and supply chain management.
Harvest House growers are true entrepreneurs. They are market leaders, innovative, and proud of their sustainable production methods. They are happy to push their boundaries, both literally and metaphorically. They are always looking for innovative projects for year-round cultivation, such as in Tunisia or Portugal.
Many of Harvest House's international projects focus on knowledge and information exchange so that international partners can also grow according to Dutch quality standards, which are leading in the industry. Several Harvest House growers have played an important role in developing the 'Milieukeur' environmental label system and have made an important contribution to the sustainability of Dutch cultivation.
Investments in seed companies, packaging companies, and other initiatives for employment and production in greenhouses can help to exercise more control on the supply chain. The service providers at Terra Natura International, Rainbow International, and Global Green Team are independent of the cooperative and responsible for selling Harvest House products in different markets. From the European retail market to the overseas markets in China and Japan.
Having our own services providers creates a healthy tension between sales and production and allows Harvest House to take a distinctive position in the market. The activities carried out by Snijpunt are an excellent addition to this and give Harvest House an opportunity for further growth in the market for healthy convenience products.
