Sales: agreements that pay off!

For all Green Diamonds growers, close collaboration is crucial. They form a close-knit network. Every grower contributes their own expertise, making them stronger together. They improve one another’s operational management and maintain a focus on quality. In addition to exchanging knowledge and experience, the constant investment in new cultivation techniques plays an important and essential role.

From flower to consumption, cucumbers last 30 days. Within these four short weeks, the cucumber has to grow into a full product, be harvested, packaged, sold, transported and eventually consumed.

For our growers, guaranteed quality, reliability and a delicious product all go without saying. They always consider the wishes of buyers and consumers and flexibly anticipate those wishes. This results in a uniform product of constant quality, 10 months a year.

The Green Diamonds product meets strict requirements: this is necessary in order to ensure quality throughout the year. Our products are developed for the higher segment.

At Green Diamonds, the best cucumbers are grown in over 22 hectares of greenhouses. They were developed with the GD-Combinatie Teeltmethode® (GD Combination Cultivation Method).

Green Diamonds has its own packaging centre in Maasland.

Green Diamonds growers deliver a 99.5% perfect product. But of course, sometimes a crooked or not fully-grown cucumber is harvested too.

Speed is crucial on the fresh food market. The longer the chain is from harvest to consumption, the more quality is lost ‘on the way’. Green Diamonds therefore delivers directly to retailers through their supply chain partners. No endless transports and storage.

Good quality for a fair price; Green Diamonds opts for fair trade and a sustainable policy, in which it is looking for supply chain partners for long-term collaboration. Good agreements can be made based on a fixed price, period, specifications and purchase volume.

Green Diamonds works with a fresh product, so food safety and hygiene are extremely important. Therefore, the growers have various certificates:

At Green Diamonds, we rely on ‘innovative greenhouse automation’ that has, by now, more than proved its worth. LetsGrow is an application for registering and analysing cultivation-related information. The application shows the greenhouse climate, crop, labour and energy consumption.

Passionate, up to date on technology with a lot of respect for people and the environment.
