At Coöperatie Hoogstraten, we are the reference point for tomatoes in Belgium. Depending on the definition you use, a tomato can be both a fruit and a vegetable, but we don't care about those definitions. Together with our growers, we ensure that you can enjoy tasty, high-quality tomatoes all year round, in all colors, shapes, and sizes.
You can always have a tomato
Snacking remains a growing trend in tomatoes. Besides taste and quality, packaging is also very important. Consumers are more aware of nutrition and a healthy lifestyle and look for products that fit in with that.
Of course, the classic moments of use will always exist, but Coöperatie Hoogstraten wants to emphasise the possibilities that are less obvious.
Tomatoes for breakfast, tomatoes as a workplace snack, in a smoothie... the possibilities are endless. The specials of Coöperatie Hoogstraten lend themselves to all these moments. From crunchy and sweet to firm and juicy, and all equally delicious. Be sure to check out our recipes with the different tomatoes.

The unique color (from black to characteristic purple), firm texture, crispness, and juiciness make this tomato very strong in culinary terms. The color is present from the fruit's "birth" and does not disappear when heated.
These tomatoes are as small as a pearl with a wonderfully fruity taste. They are very crunchy, causing them to burst open in your mouth with an explosion of flavor. Thanks to their small size, you can add these tomatoes to your salad without cutting them. And they look like candy for children, making them ideal for healthy snacking!
A mix of different types of old tomato varieties. Tomatoes like the ones grown in grandma's garden. They come in different colors and shapes that bring a unique experience. The ridges and soft pulp are typical of the Chef Délice, giving them a very authentic look. The taste is just as intense, as if they came from your own garden.
All Hoogstraten tomatoes meet the legal requirements for primary plant production and several additional specifications (production, sustainability, social practices, etc.). Furthermore, only the best quality receives the Flandria quality mark. This guarantees tomatoes that have been grown with respect for nature.
Our cooperative is a leader in Belgium for tomatoes, with year-round production and a wide assortment. Each year, we market more than 100,000 tons of tomatoes.
Year-round production
Delicious Hoogstraten tomatoes are available all year round. Of course, the summer months have the largest supply. But thanks to innovative techniques, you can enjoy them all year round.
Our tomatoes are only grown in elevated greenhouses. This way, the ripe fruits always hang down at an ergonomic picking height, and the flowers for pollination by bumblebees are at the top. Substrate cultivation is standard in modern tomato cultivation. The plants no longer have their roots in the ground; they take root in soils made of rock wool or coconut.
