There are numerous advantages to growing, harvesting and processing vegetables at one and the same location. It facilitates delivery of the freshest products possible, with a longer shelf life thanks to a fast processing time and vastly reduced transport movements. Lean production translates into an extremely short supply chain, reductions in product loss (waste) and stocks, and enhanced delivery reliability. This enables the processor to constantly supply a product that satisfies the consumer’s demands – and which is always delivered on time. The product is free from pesticides, immediately fit for consumption and grown in an extremely sustainable manner. The end product is the most crucial aspect of the entire cultivation process, in which taste, quantity and quality are key factors.
