Elite Fresh Trade opened this year. In this newly established Belgian company, CEO Tancer Akarka wants to specialize in the export of high-quality local products by air and sea transport. “The quality of Belgian fruit and vegetables is known worldwide, but there is often a lack of knowledge about their potential.Through our strong relationships with our customers, we are proud to offer We aim to share sexuality globally,” begins Tanser, who is also actively involved with Elite Foods.
Even though both companies operate under the same roof, Elite Fresh Trade is completely independent. We specialize in high quality Belgian products. “However, that doesn’t mean we can’t benefit from each other’s strengths,” says Sevde Akarka, head of exports to the Middle East and North America.
“However, many Belgian fruits and vegetables remain within European borders or are sent around the world via the Netherlands. Elite Foods is committed to making Belgium’s famous high quality available around the world. The country is known not only for its waffles and chocolates, but also for its beautiful and fresh ingredients’ products. “
“Agricultural products such as chicory, (specialty) tomatoes, potatoes and pears. Belgian producers work hard every day to ensure they reach our shelves.” “We want to maintain that quality, so we want to fly these products to destinations that don’t have immediate access to fresh Belgian products.” Sebde explains.
Quality over quantity
Elite Fresh Trade therefore purchases products daily from producers, traders or cooperatives and then airlifts them ready-to-eat to destinations such as Toronto, Shanghai and Qatar. “Naturally, it comes with a price tag, which is the same thing with any product that is freshly purchased, shipped quickly, and is of high quality. We don’t do a lot of business, but We’re investing in relationships where we can build a fixed line.” You should think of greengrocers who want to spend their money on quality produce rather than big chains. ”
“We often hear that chicory is a great product, but people wonder how they use it. It’s our job to talk to local vendors about the product’s versatility. It can be added not only cold to salads, but also to any dish. “This also applies, for example, to specialty tomatoes. Tomatoes can be a beautiful addition to local delicacies.” Co-Owned says Glen.
“It requires the necessary investment, but that is what sets us apart. We already offer some products around the world, but we want to take the next step. Together with our partners , we want to introduce innovative concepts all over the world. We want to emphasize quality.” Not only as a supplier, but especially as a partner. ”
“A passionate leader in our organic department, Hasna also brings deep expertise in high-quality organic fruits and vegetables. With a focus on sustainable agriculture, she strengthens local communities and supports small-scale We want to support farmers, and Hasna’s commitment to freshness and healthy food reflects that.” “Our mission is to promote a healthy lifestyle.” The organic story calls for environmentally responsible practices, and we want to enrich the food industry with them,” explains Glenn.
Added value
Although the start has already begun, Elite Fresh Trade sees these partnerships as solidifying its position in the market. “It starts with our staff. Our new teams complement each other well and we want to consider the needs and interests of not only each other, but also our customers and suppliers. Our clients know who they are doing business with. You have to know what you’re doing, and you always have to be able to anticipate what you’re going to receive ‘optimum quality,”’ Tanser says.
“That additional service extends to our 24/7 availability and our desire to take into account the interests of our buyers. We work with our partners to explore the market and bring Belgian products to our end customers. We look forward to considering the best way to serve you, and we will create added value. “It’s not just for them, it’s for us as well. A win-win, a win-win that allows us to consider the future. customer relationships,” concludes Tanser.
