Fruits and vegetables from Belgium have long been a preferred choice for retailers in the UK. Thanks to its fertile soil, favourable climate, and advanced farming techniques, fresh produce from Belgium consistently delivers the quality that consumers from the UK expect, at a highly competitive price. As the UK’s closet trading partner, Belgian growers can deliver the freshest possible produce, often able to get fruit and veg on shelf the day after the order is placed.

For UK distributors, there are fewer risks in buying products so close to the local market. Moreover, the supply lines between Belgium and the UK are becoming more efficient. Closer contact among farmers, traders and retailers has resulted in a highly fruitful trading relationship over many years. The proximity between Belgium and the UK also means the food miles of Belgian fruit and veg is lower than other international trading partners, meaning the carbon footprint associated with transport is lower than imports from other countries.
