The World of Fruit in Russia

Doing business in Russia is different and yet so much the same as in the rest of the world. During their trip to St. Petersburg, Otto de Groot and Heike Raddatz could not ask for more –they got to dive into the world of fruit in this exceptional country and see everything from close by.

Not only visiting the harbour was impressive, but also meeting and speaking to the locals, giving insightful tips and trying to understand how business is done there was very valuable, says Otto de Groot, founder and owner of our company. 

By travelling to our local network partners, we hope to gain deeper insights into how business is done locally and constantly improve their and our quality of work.

Visiting the Queen

When Rinske Hoekstra and Otto de Groot of our company caught the plane to the UK yesterday morning, this wasn’t exactly what they had in mind. Instead, they were on a mission to meet and greet one of our international cooperating partners, who carries out surveys on our behalf in the UK. Not only did the two take a look over the shoulder of the surveyor, but they were also able to reveal some unique tips and tricks in the art of fruit surveying. 

All in all a successful and prosperous meeting for both parties with a positive outlook on future cooperation.
