DLV Plant

The majority of DLV Plant's foreign activities take place within Europe. In West Europe the advisors are particularly active in Belgium, Germany, England, Denmark, Sweden and France. The main focus for project based activities is in Eastern Europe. DLV Plant provides turnkey projects - right from the initial planting up to the actual harvest. Part of this process is seconding a manager-grower, training of management, cultivation advice and setting up the management and organisation.

DLV Plant can also support in the process of acquiring financing and application for and processing of international subsidies. This involves the introduction of Dutch technology, executing feasibility studies, reinforcing the knowledge infrastructure or establishing forms of cooperation.

Within the context of a project in the Eastern Europe area, DLV was looking for an appropriate party to carry out a feasibility study for a distribution and processing centre for fruit and vegetables.

The contracting company is a greenhouse operation, growing various types of greenhouse vegetables. Their ambition is to spread out their wings, by enlarging their range of products with produce of external provenance to be processed in their distribution centre. Greenhouse Assist has delivered a significant contribution to this study. Many aspects, such as foodsafety, tracking & tracing, warehouse management systems, sustainability and storage and processing were highlighted. As a result a detailed layout has been made for 5000m2 distribution centre. Greenhouse Assist simplifies fresh chain matters !
