"More tomatoes grown under lights being supplied again this winter"
This winter, more Coöperatie Hoogstraten growers are growing TOVs under lights. Last year, there was hardly any lit cultivation due to high energy costs; this year, the lights have been switched on again in many places in Belgium. "It's certainly not at the level it was before the energy crisis, but we can supply our customers well again this winter," begins Bart Van Bael.
