Germany: Greenhouse growers leave Landgard cooperation
Information from Taspo claims that at the end of May, more than twenty domestic fruit and vegetable producers terminated their contract with Landgard Obst & Gemüse Ltd & Co., effective December 31, 2021. According to the report, around €95 million in German producer sales will be lost, which would correspond to circa 80 hectares of greenhouse and circa 1,500 hectares of open field production.
Of the approximately €750 million in sales that Landgard generates annually, around 175 million are attributable to the local production of fruit and vegetables. The remaining turnover would come primarily from commercial transactions.
