"The Algarve offers plenty of potential for our new coconut concept"
Last November, Rick Rebergen and Helien Verhagen made Portugal their permanent home. Helien has been in the exotic fruits and vegetables sales business for years.
In recent years, she has been especially busy with Portuguese sweet potato sales. Rick was active in fruit and vegetable automation for decades but has now also started marketing new fresh produce concepts in Portugal.
