We're invested

We offer advice, support and help where needed

Carrots from the Dutch Carrot Group are grown in fertile, Dutch soil. They’re enjoyed fresh from the fields by people all over the world. That's why our carrots are grown by seasoned farmers with a passion for their crops!

At the Dutch Carrot Group, we believe in the strength of cooperation. By offering our farmers help and support at all times, we make sure every carrot meets quality checks and standards. We give advice on different varieties of crops, help out during the harvest, provide our farmers with transport, and offer the use of our own nationwide cool and wash installations. This way we can provide our retailers with requested information at any given time, and we can ensure a strong global market for farmers throughout the country.

About the Dutch Carrot Group

In 2009, leading carrot companies Agrifirm Plant, Koop Landbouw, and Hiemstra, joined forces to form the Dutch Carrot Group. Together they wanted to meet the increasing demands of retailers to be supplied with fresh produce all year round. Today, the Dutch Carrot is able to meet these demands by controlling the entire production process. From planting the seeds to delivery to the shops, the Dutch Carrot Group is invested in every step of the way. 

From seed to retailer

Managing the production chain

Our carrots are grown responsibly by experienced farmers. Because we manage the cultivation process from start to finish, we are able to keep a close check on the quality of our carrots at all times. If necessary, we can provide retailers with data and information whenever they need it.

 

As soon as the carrots are harvested, they’re transported to one of the cooling installations of the Dutch Carrot Group. Here they’re stored at a temperature of 1º Celcius, protected by a thick layer of soil, until they’re ready to be washed in one of the onsite wash installations. During the washing process the carrots are closely inspected to ensure they meet GlobalGAP standards.

 

After the washing process, the carrots are packaged onsite and transported for the global consumer market by our own logistics centre. We’re involved every step of the way to ensure the best available produce for our retailers, and a strong market for our farmers.

With attention to people and environment

Because the Dutch Carrot Group controls the entire production chain, we are able to guarantee a lean work process. Our carrots are grown in fertile soil, waterwaste is managed responsibly, and where possible we make use of renewable energy produced by onsite solar panels and wind turbines. Our wash and packaging installations are individually certified, and we use the warmth that’s released during these processes to heat our production areas. Because we also oversee the transport and logistics of the carrots, we ensure sustainably sourced carrots to all our customers.
