Rensen

Under the leadership of Bas Rensen, Best Fresh Group has pursued a transformative strategy to solidify its position in the fresh produce market through strategic restructuring and technological innovation. Having stepped into the role of CEO following Mart Valstar, Bas Rensen has led a significant internal restructuring and a successful SAP implementation which refined the company's structure from 35 BVs to a more streamlined operation. Best Fresh, encompassing two growing companies, Kwekerij Voorhof and Eminent Produce, extends its reach through trading companies under Farmhouse International and logistic providers focused on internal operations. With over 400 employees and trade extending to more than 30 countries, the company is poised for the next phase of growth, targeting acquisitions and partnerships to enhance its market reach while remaining committed to family business values. Recent acquisition of EFP's business exemplifies this growth strategy. With ongoing geopolitical challenges and market dynamics, the company maintains a commitment to adaptability and strategic expansion without delving into in-house cultivation. Financially robust with a 2024 turnover of €300 million, Best Fresh aims to celebrate its 100th anniversary building upon its legacy and focusing on sustainable and innovative practices.
