On 23 January 2025, E.F.P. International B.V. was granted provisional suspension of payments. Mr. M.J.H. Vermeeren was appointed as the administrator. E.F.P. has traditionally focused heavily on exporting fruit and vegetables to countries such as the Middle East, England, and Ireland. In addition to its headquarters in Poeldijk, the company operates branches in Ter Apel and Perpignan.
Managing Director Ron van der Leek emphasized that this is a moratorium and expressed optimism that a solution could be found.
