The Koninklijke Coöperatieve Growers Association Southeast Netherlands U.A. is distinctively active in the international world of fruit and vegetables. Committed growers grow high-quality fruit and vegetables in an innovative and sustainable way. Directly from the source to the consumer. Through auction clock sales, brokerage and account sales or a combination of these. The wishes of our growers and our customers are of course the starting point.
We want to communicate transparently, easily and on the basis of equality with our growers and customers. Everything with the aim of fulfilling the wishes of customers in such a way that our members achieve the maximum result. Our organization is constantly on the move with growers and customers at home and abroad. We believe in the strength of the cooperative, which leaves room for individual wishes.
In short: intensive cooperation with customers in a cooperative of, for and by members. At home at ZON!
