The growing demand for trees from the far East results in longer storage periods. Since we don't compromise on quality we're constructing additional cold store to maintain our quality standard until delivery.

After years of breeding and selecting we decided it was time to give the Belgian growers a glimpse of the future. During four Sundays, growers have the possibility to see fruits on the tree and taste them.

Sometimes the only thing a grower needs to go from good to great, is a peek on the other side of the fence. As nurserymen we're privileged visitors in a lot of our clients orchards around the world. With this broad view we have the opportunity to bring growers together in order for both parties to improve and progress.

In 2010, world wide yield of apples was more than 69 million tonnes out of which half was produced by China. Most of it is still being produced in accordance with the old methods. Large trees, often decades old on small parcels with an average size of 0,1 ha. Today large Chinese companies are planting intensive orchards to achieve higher yields to meet the rising demand of apples on the Chinese market. We, Johan Nicolai inc., have had the opportunity to visit one of these companies.

We've had an excellent fair, hope to see you all again next year!

The Delhaize group is looking for new and exclusive variety to differentiate themselves from their competitors. They asked their accredited supplier, Wolfcarius Quality Fruit, to introduce them to progressive and trustworthy breeding programs. As a longstanding customer of n.v. Johan Nicolai, Christ Wolfcarius was aware of our breeding activities. As a consequence he arranged a meeting with both parties, Delhaize group & n.v. Johan Nicolai / bvba ZOUK, at his company.
