Off-land pool: immediate clarity after the harvest
3 steps to participation in the off-field pool
How does the off-field pool work?
With the off-field pool, you deliver your onions directly to the buyer after harvesting. PPA sells your pool onions during the harvest season based on the established pool quantity. You receive the average price over that period. The pool committee monitors the sales strategy throughout the season and tracks market developments and progress.
What the off-field pool offers you
By participating in the off-lfield pool, you have immediate clarity regarding your sales after the harvest, without storage costs or the risk of quality loss. You are free to participate with your entire or partial yield. PPA takes your delivery preference into account and aims to pay out as soon as possible after the pool closes, usually in November.
