Product description

Why choose our first-year white onion sets? Because we grow them ourselves, we know our varieties in detail. Only varieties that meet our strict criteria are included in our cultivation program. This guarantees:

  • Top-quality onion sets
  • Optimal growth performance on various soil types
  • Reliability and uniformity in yield

Unique cultivation locations ensure guaranteed quality

We distinguish ourselves through geographically distributed cultivation. This limits risk and ensures stable quality:

  • We are the only grower in the sector to cultivate on pristine, disease-free plots in Northern France.
  • We carefully select plots in Southwest Netherlands and the Flevopolder region, in collaboration with our cultivation specialists.

Our crop managers closely monitor growth using a specially developed cultivation program tailored to the unique conditions of each growing region.

Selectplant certification: assurance for your onion crop

Our white onion sets are certified with the independent NAKTuinbouw Selectplant quality mark. This offers additional assurance beyond the European standard:

✔ Free from downy mildew (Peronospora destructor)

✔ Free from white rot (Sclerotium cepivorum)

✔ Standard testing for stem nematodes (Ditylenchus dipsaci)

By cultivating on plots free from these soil-borne diseases, we ensure a healthy and trouble-free start to the growing season.
