"In addition to Peru, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, we now also import from Kenya by boat"
In the summer, local European production usually slows the import of delicate vegetables like snow peas, sugar snaps, haricots verts, peas, and dwarf and French beans. "Sales are picking up now that the vacations are over again," says Pepijn de Koning of FV Seleqt.
FV Seleqt used to get its snow peas and sugar snaps via boat from Peru, Zimbabwe, and Zambia and by plane from Kenya.
