As a growers’ cooperative

we join forces to offer strawberries, fruiting vegetables and soft fruits, with a cooperative mindset through and through.

Hoogstraten through and through

Coöperatie Hoogstraten is an organization where forward-looking growers of strawberries, fruiting vegetables and soft fruit join forces. We have a cooperative mindset, through and through. We share insights and create connections, from grower to customer and back again.

Because it’s this personal approach that we’re all about. In research and innovation, data and pricing: we’re at the source of it all.

By working together, we create the smartest, shortest and most transparent chain. To ensure the freshest strawberries and the tastiest tomatoes. So that everyone sees and tastes the fruit of our labor.

Specialism

At Coöperatie Hoogstraten, we focus intensely on strawberries and fruiting vegetables. Knowing these products through and through enables us to work efficiently in everything we do. We’re right at the source of innovation and research into improving cultivation methods and varieties. And we have a clearer view of the entire value chain than anyone.

Growth

Everything we do is centered on carefully considered growth. We are as ambitious as we are forward-looking, working to help each other improve, whether by developing our businesses or building on expertise. By working on a large scale, we are building leverage.

Sustainability

Our cooperative operates, by definition, in a way that allows us and our growers to survive and do business long term. We’re serious about our responsibility to contribute to a healthy food environment, supporting our growers in their sustainable transition. And we give back to society.

Expertise

At Coöperatie Hoogstraten, we’re about more than growing fruit and vegetables. We are continuously gathering data to give us greater insight into the chain, forming the basis for further digitization of our operations. We’re also committed to research and development to improve products and links within the chain. And by actively sharing this wealth of knowledge, we help each other move forward. 

Efficiency

High-performance, relevant services for our growers and customers. Easy and pleasant working relationships with every link in the chain. That’s us, through and through.
