Ingredients for a successful agrifood chain
The world population is growing and the demand for food is more diverse than ever. We want our food fresh, and we want it fast. That inevitably affects the agrifood sector. The port of Rotterdam is an excellent base for agrifood companies. Our comprehensive understanding of the sector and its specific requirements enables us to ensure the consistent quality of your product.
What does your product need to stay fresh until it has reached its final destination? You need a streamlined logistics process and fully transparent chain to keep your product fresh until it reaches its final destination. Our deep-sea terminals are among the most modern in the world. Processing is fast, automated and never stops. The terminals have their own customs scanning facilities and are accessible for all sea-going vessels. Combined with the best storage and transport through an intricate distribution network, this consistently delivers suitable solutions in terms of costs and speed. Take advantage of our excellent logistics connections from deep sea to short sea and further inland, whether by ship or land.
Situated between the Greenports, where fruit and vegetables are cultivated, packaged and shipped at a single location, the port of Rotterdam guarantees the fastest route to their destination. In the port of Rotterdam, we don’t stop until your product has reached its journey’s end: the consumer.

Investments in sustainability and the supply chains of the future are key to our business operations. Yet we can do more, for example, we can reduce CO2 emissions and decrease food waste by shortening transit times.
