Why we do it

Lucian
Verde Agri-Food Specialist
‘It takes a lot of work and dedication to produce a tasty tomato. And yet, the food the farmers put so much heart in is often wasted due to inefficient distribution systems and limited access to customers. At Verde, we take care of how to get the local, tasty food to the consumers’ tables, so that the farmers can focus on farming.’
Take care of what matters
Taking care of what matters is at the center of Verde’s mission. Taking care of your customers to offer them healthy, affordable food. Taking care of local farmers so they can sell their produce at fair prices. Taking care of our environment so we all enjoy nature at its best. And taking care of one another as a part of a community with shared values, ready to drive a real change.

’I grew up in Romania and spent many days at my grandparents’, in the village. We used to work our fields and ate mostly our home-grown veggies. Those tomatoes were fantastic. Today, when I talk to my friends from large cities, they all say that it’s difficult to buy fresh vegetables produced by local farmers. But I strongly believe that everyone should have easy access to the real taste of tomato. This is why Verde was created.’

Sustainability

We enable sustainable food systems to secure our food supply and our health whilst mitigating the negative impacts on the planet, directly supporting the UN SDG long term targets by 2030:

In Romania we throw away 6,000 tons of food per day. Our target is to optimize the distribution infrastructure for small and medium farms to reduce the food waste by 80%
The global food supply chains are expensive and ruin the environment. By enabling local producers to sell at fair prices and developing the “buy local food” mentality among consumers, we keep most of the consumers’ spending in the farmers’ pockets, helping them to modernize their farms and focus on sustainable production.
Can you imagine that in 2018 Romania imported 680,000 tones of vegetables? Import exceeds exports almost six-fold. Tomatoes we buy in supermarkets come from Turkey, Poland or the Netherlands. Some of them travel more than 2,200km before they land on your plate. We use sustainable packaging and logistics to bring the local produce to your table, aiming to reduce the environmental impact by more than 60%.
According to Eurostat study in 2017, 59% of adult Romanians consumed ZERO portions of vegetables per day. Only one country among 28 EU member states had a lower consumption. As eating fruits and vegetables on a daily basis is crucial for our health, our goal is to reverse these numbers and encourage more than 70% of Romanians to eat at least TWO portions of fresh vegetables from local farmers every day.

These are just a few examples how VERDE wants to support the UN SDGs to build a more sustainable world. Join us and let’s do it together!
