“Good demand for Spanish and Israeli peppers from US and Canada”

Spanish and Israeli pepper season is in full swing at Tholan – Gilad production. “There are fewer flights from Israel because of the war. There is also a shortage of workers to package all the pepper from the plant, but we still get the quantities we need,” says Frank Mostert.

“Demand from the US and Canada is very good at the moment, so we send a lot of Spanish and Israeli trade there. Canadian production is finished at the same time as the Dutch season and there is still a little production from Mexico. We can fill. That gap is good. The exchange rate is also becoming very favorable. Advantage. Pepper prices are not bad this time of year, especially the part we can sell overseas.”

“This week we will get the last of the Dutch peppers. The season started very badly, but ended well, although the prices have dropped somewhat compared to the last few weeks, we have now resumed production of peppers,” says Frank. Gilat production started a month ago with mini cucumbers from Spain. “They don’t touch the ground. The production is low, but the price is very good.”

Preparations for the Dutch greenhouse vegetable season have also now resumed. “We have ambitions to further expand our area next season. For example, we are strong in bell peppers, peppers and mini cucumbers, and we want to expand the area further and add some additional products to our range.”
