Potatoes
For more than 30 years Westhoeve Potatoes supply fresh potatoes worldwide. By working closely with a large number of local farmers, we are always assured of high quality and fresh ware potatoes. As we are also running a farming business where we grow and store our own potatoes we are able to respond to the market’s needs and demands more efficiently. If we anticipate a disappointing yield we can already start negotiations to buy potatoes from neighbouring countries to eradicate any shortfalls. Westhoeve Potatoes has a collaboration with farmers in The Netherlands, Belgium, France, United Kingdom and Germany.
Industry and export
We deliver our quality potatoes world-wide; not only in Europe, but also in South-America, Africa and even in the Middle East we are well represented. We are conveniently located within a short distance to the ports of Flushing, Antwerp and one of the world’s largest shipping ports, Rotterdam. This logistical advantage and our long established relationships with leading shipping lines means we can offer excellent lead times for our wholesale potatoes.
