Sectoral Intervention Vegetables & Fruit
SIG&F scheme
Tolpoort Vegetables has been an acknowledged producer organization since 2023 and participates in the SIG&F scheme. Tolpoort Vegetables is implementing a five-year operational plan (2023–2027) aimed at promoting sustainability, research, and innovation within our cooperative. This allows us to support our growers in operating more sustainably and innovatively.
The SIG&F scheme is part of the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy. Thanks to this scheme, we and our affiliated growers can invest in areas such as automation, innovation, sustainability, and collective facilities, such as robotic packaging lines.
The challenges of sustainability are and will remain significant. Our cooperative closely monitors these developments and encourages its members to make optimal use of the available opportunities. This way, we work together to ensure healthy and future-proof business operations.
