Loved in Britain & Norway, Made in Europe

Belgian fruits and vegetables have long been a preferred choice for retailers in the UK, while in Norway our fresh produce is increasingly valued for its quality and taste. Thanks to fertile soil, a favourable climate, and advanced farming techniques, Belgian growers consistently deliver the quality consumers in both countries expect — at highly competitive prices.

As the UK’s closest trading partner, Belgium can ensure the freshest possible supply, with fruit and vegetables often reaching store shelves the very next day after an order is placed. At the same time, Norway continues to discover the benefits of Belgian produce, strengthening an already promising relationship.

For distributors in the UK and Norway, buying products close to their local markets comes with fewer risks. In addition, supply lines between Belgium and both countries have become increasingly efficient.

Over the years, closer cooperation between Belgian farmers, traders, and retailers has led to strong and fruitful trading relationships. Thanks to Belgium’s geographical proximity to the UK and Norway, the food miles for Belgian fruit and vegetables are significantly lower compared to other international trading partners. This not only ensures freshness but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with transport.
