Netherlands: Visitors tour Legro's operations during Global Berry Congress
The ‘Tour de Legro’ along the soft fruit production chain
The Study Tour kicked off at Legro itself. The 40 attendees not only enjoyed a presentation on Legro's soft fruit substrates, but also one on Priva's equipment for climate and process automation. The extensive tour of the Legro factory, with its huge mountains of peat and coco, clearly made an impression on the participants.
The next part of the Study Tour was a visit to the Trial Station in Helenaveen, where trials of blueberry plants on Legro substrate are running. The tour then moved on to yet another location. In Meterik, Marcel Driessen of Driesvenplant explained how the company has become a large and successful blueberry propagator. The tour concluded at the Jumbo Food Market in Veghel, where the international guests were able to see the finished product: the soft fruit on the shop shelf.
