"Guatemala always set the tone - that is now slowly changing"
In the field of sugar snap peas and snap peas, batches from three countries of origin, namely Egypt, Guatemala and Kenya, are now hitting the market. "We have plenty of goods available to us at the moment, whether sea or air freight. Although we try to offer the buyer ship goods if possible due to the CO2 balance, we have set out to become the most sustainable sugar snap pea supplier on the market. In Egypt, we are doing better and better, and in Kenya, too, we are trying to import goods by sea freight bit by bit," describes Edgar Günther, importer and managing director of ElbeFruit Ltd.
