FRESH IS WHAT WE DO BEST

P Hubs for fresh products

When most people are still asleep in the cities, the wholesale markets are busy turning night into day. The markets are a hive of activity. Vast amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables from national growers, especially those near the market, and from all over the world are shipped to and from the markets. Whatever the season, there is no shortage here – and everything is of top quality. Other types of food are on offer besides fruit and vegetables, so that retailers can obtain a large part of their range of fresh produce from the market.

P We are at the centre of freshness

Wholesale markets are at the centre of the chain of added value for fresh foods and flowers. This is where growers, wholesalers and importers meet the buyers from shops and restaurants who want the best for their customers. And customer relations are very important, because delivering to customers is part of the service where freshness is concerned.

P Grown around the world, sold in the P region

Regional, national and overseas growers supply produce to the importers and wholesalers based at the wholesale markets. The wholesale market is the sales channel of choice for growers who attach great importance to the quality and freshness of the produce and value the profes-sional advice and trading skills of the companies at the wholesale markets and their customers.

P Companies based at the markets

Most sellers are wholesalers and importers. Possessing great professionalism and experience, they are able to handle large volumes of every kind of perishable food from all parts of the world. Many of the companies trading on the wholesale markets have been owned and operated by the same family for several generations. The entire range of services connected with the produce is available. The market traders are highly competitive because they put the customer first and offer the latest logistics technology and services. Regional growers have stands at many wholesale markets to sell freshly picked seasonal produce: “From the region – for the region” is the guiding principle – cutting transport time and costs.

P

P The buyers

Among the customers who buy from the varied range at the wholesale market are independent retailers, street market traders, hotels, restaurants, chain store branches and bulk buyers for hospitals, community centres, fast-food outlets and canteens.

P The experts for healthy eating

Without the wholesale markets, consumers would find their quality of life diminished. Because the people who buy produce at the wholesale market pay close attention to…• FreshnessEverything is geared to freshness at wholesale markets. The markets ensure that fruit and vegetables from all over the world and the local region are taken straight to the shops, so the consumer can buy them while they are fresh.• VarietyYou name it, the market has it. The five continents of the earth rub shoulders in these urban centres, to offer whatever the consumer desires, from A as in apple to Z as in zucchini.• QualityHere the wholesale markets leave nothing to chance. For good reason. After all, the people who trade here are all proven experts – people who set very high standards and for whom only the best is good enough. That is why freshly harvested produce is first subjected to a number of official inspections

P The fresh food centre

Bremen Wholesale Market opened in November 2002 at its new site. Its facilities are now among the most modern in Europe and the entire centre was designed with fresh produce in mind. The wholesale market is now located in an old dockland area. Being so close to the town centre and served by a good local and international transport network, the stage is set for the market to grow and prosper.

The site covers some 16.3 hectares, its focal point being a 22,000 m2 wholesale market hall in the classic style. The wholesale market hall is divided into three parts and is used by flower wholesalers, grower-wholesalers and the classic fruit and vegetable wholesalers. To round off the picture there is a specialities market hall offering some 8,000 m2 of additional space where a variety of goods are sold on a C&C basis.

P At the heart of the city

Since 1952 Dortmund Wholesale Market has been at the heart of the city and the region. In 1976 the wholesale market, hitherto a municipal corporation, was one of the first German markets to be privatized. Since that date it has operated as a cooperative society.

With a sales floor of more than 58,000 m2 the market serves a catchment area that includes the Ruhr district, Westphalia, the Rhineland and regions beyond, providing top quality produce for more than 3.5 million people. Apart from the classic wholesale trade in fruit and vegetables, Dortmund is a major regional centre for the fish trade. The success of Dortmund Wholesale Market is founded on its central location and good transportation connections within one of Germany’s most populous regions.

P At the intersection of three regions; Ruhr, Rheinschiene and Lower Rhine

28 importers, growers, wholesalers, caterers and suppliers of convenience products trade on the 7,000 m2 of sales floor, 4,000 m2 of which is covered; their sizeable clientele is made up of customers from the independent food retail trade, i.e. greengrocers and street market traders, and buyers for restaurants and similar enterprises.

Duisburg Wholesale Market is an important regional institution blessed with an intact, modern infrastructure and can look back on more than a century of trading history. A special feature of the site is its good international connections, e.g. via nearby Duisburg airport; and the Dutch border is a mere 50 km down the road. The wholesale market’s immediate catchment area is the Lower Rhine region and the western Ruhr district, where some 1.5 million consumers live.

P The best of what’s good

Essen Fresh Produce Centre is known as the place to go for quality and freshness. It was opened in 1981, a result of the merger between the wholesale market and the abattoir, which was privatized in 1976. It is managed by three operating companies, the Grossmarkt Essen GmbH, the meat cooperative FVE Fleischversorgung Essen eG and the butchers’ cooperative Gilde Frisch-Markt Rhein-Ruhr eG.

More than 50 companies operate on the 94,000 m2 site, offering trade buyers a complete range of fresh foods. Attached to the market is an educational facility where courses cover a comprehensive range of commercial and technical subjects.

P The modern trading platform

Frankfurt Fresh Produce Centre opened in June 2004. The site covers 13.3 hectares and offers a modern exchange facility where sellers and retailers meet to trade their wares. The innovative overall concept is the result of careful planning, making the fresh produce centre one of Germany’s most modern sites for wholesaling fresh food. Key features are the highly functional facilities, the latest technology, time-saving layout and a wide range of produce. Some 120 food wholesalers, importers, regional growers and sellers of specialities offer a “one-stop” opportunity to buy a comprehensive and varied range of fresh produce.

Vital pre-conditions to guarantee the freshness and quality of the goods traded are that the market is very easy to reach and is close to Frankfurt airport.

P Frankfurt’s covered, street and specialist markets

Markets are a special feature of Frankfurt; and the covered markets, flea market and current tally of 16 street and farmers’ markets – supplied by 460 different enterprises – occupy a special place in the affections of the local population. For centuries, open and covered markets have been part of the scene in what is now a modern trade fair and university city noted for its striking skyline. No matter which market shoppers choose – the street markets at Konstabler Wache, in the districts of Bornheim or Sachsenhausen, at Friedberger Platz or Schillerstrasse, the covered markets of Höchst or the town-centre’s Kleinmarkthalle – they will find a combination of market flair and the opportunity to select from a wide range of fresh food and other products straight from the traders and growers. These markets cater to local tastes in Frankfurt and Hesse as well as reflecting international cuisine and revealing the variety of local produce and exotic delights available.

P The region’s trade centre

Hannover Wholesale Market was established in 1958. Trading on a 23 hectare site, the wholesale market has developed into an indispensable trade centre for small and medium-sized food retailing enterprises. More than 700 people are employed by the 80 companies based at the wholesale market.

In the fully covered market hall – a modern steel and glass construction – between 350,000 and 400,000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables change hands every year.
