The Belgian Fruit Auction (Belgische Fruitveiling/BFV) works together with over 1,200 fruit growers. We invest in the best state-of-the-art equipment for cooling, presorting, packing and sales systems. This enables us to offer a flexible service, products of consummate quality and especially competitive prices. The results that we have achieved make an impact: the Belgian Fruit Auction (BFV) occupies the premier position in the Belgian fruit market with a market share of more than 50%. Approximately 60% of the products supplied from the whole country by us end up as exports. Our headquarters are in Sint-Truiden, in the province of Limburg, one of the most concentrated and specialised fruit-growing regions in Europe. There we have centred our transport, marketing, packing and administration. Our branch in Glabbeek is responsible for supply, refrigeration and shipping. The pre-sorting and refrigeration complex is in Zoutleeuw and we also keep our products perfectly chilled in Hannuit. In Vrasene, East Flanders, our youngest branch we also have supply, refrigeration and shipping facilities. While we work with fruitgrowers from all the fruitregions in Belgium, our name is Belgische Fruitveiling or Belgian Fruit Auction.Products: Apples: Jonagold - Jonagored - Belgica - Pinova - Golden Reinders - Boskoop - Braeburn - Gala - GreenstarPears: Conférence - Doyenné du Comice - Durondeau - Alexander Lucas - Sweet SensationStrawberries: Clery - Elsanta – Darselect – Charlotte – San AndreasCherries: Kordia - Regina - Hedelfinger - SweetheartBerries: Redcurrants – Raspberries – Gooseberries – BlackberriesFood safety:External inspections, performed by authorised, independent inspection bodies, ensure that the BFV and their growers are inspected regularly and audited for correct compliance with GlobalGAP(growers), BRC, IFS, and QS.Preservation:We have a capacity of 63 million kg of ULO(Ultr Low Oxigen) storage.Our brands:TRUVAL(black), SIRA(green), BFV(blue)
