Reliable supply, from grower to your door
You are looking for reliable parties and want to be able to count on clear agreements. As an independent intermediary, PPA connects your request with a broad network of growers in the Netherlands and abroad.
Which products do you want to purchase?
More than just mediation
PPA does not just find the right partner for your procurement needs. We assess the quality of every party, document what has been agreed upon, organize the logistics, and provide administrative support if desired. In this way, we unburden you throughout the entire process, without you having to connect the dots yourself.
A network built from practical experience
PPA works daily with hundreds of growers in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland, and the United Kingdom. As a result, we know which qualities are available, where opportunities are emerging in the market, and which parties align with your purchasing needs. This knowledge does not come from a database, but from daily contact with growers. It is precisely this that enables us to adapt quickly, even during the season, if your demand changes.
PPA visits more than 1,000 growers
annually to broker
all types of onions.
Three steps to collaboration
Introduction
We discuss your situation: type of batch, storage options, desired sales method, and delivery time. This way, we have a clear picture of your needs and expectations from the start.
Connect and capture
Depending on the chosen sales method, we establish agreements in advance. This can be via a contract, in an onion pool, or we engage in free trade during the season. All agreements are recorded in writing so that you know where you stand.
Guidance during the season
We also remain involved during the season, regarding logistics, quality assessment, and market developments. You always have a dedicated point of contact who thinks along with you and takes action when necessary.
Quality and certification arranged
Every sales market has its own quality requirements and certifications. PPA is familiar with the requirements of various customers and knows which certifications are suitable for which sales market.
Independent from purchasing to delivery
Strong matches, better results
Deeply rooted in onions and chicory
Right in the middle of the market between grower and buyer
PPA acts as a link between growers and buyers on a daily basis. This calls for people who have a feel for the sector, can switch gears quickly, and are committed to long-term partnerships.
Every day is different. One moment I am handling logistics and administration, the next I am helping to weigh onion sets.

An honest picture of what is feasible
Every season brings new circumstances. What becomes available, the quality of a batch, and how the market develops cannot always be predicted in advance. With nearly forty years of market knowledge and a strong network of growers, however, we can provide a realistic picture of this. We know our growers, follow crop development, and know where and when availability arises. This helps us to accurately assess the market and make informed purchasing decisions.
