Hello,I am Jimmy Gysbrechts, a kiwiberry producer for Coöperatie Hoogstraten since 2014. I was previously a producer of strawberries from 1995 to 2012, but because soil fatigue started to play an important role, I switched to an environmentally friendly and new product, kiwiberry. I chose the kiwiberry because I have a small farm and it does not have high heating costs. My kiwiberries are from a protected crop (glass) and are a different variety to those grown outside: Issai. In the summer we have to do a lot of pruning and cutting the grass twice a week. I still work in a factory, full continuous system and therefore I have enough time to take care of the kiwiberries. And to sell them in an environmentally friendly and good quality way at the auction. There they are sorted by machine and put on the market. Bon appetit!
