As an investment cooperative with a support base of 280 growers, we add capital, sector expertise, an extensive network and a long-term vision. This allows us to help our portfolio companies realise their growth plans.
Sector expertise
Horticoop invests exclusively in companies that are active in the horticultural sector. This allows us to understand the market dynamics and the associated challenges. Our investment team has more than 40 years of combined experience in the horticultural sector. In addition, through our members and knowledge partners (such as Wageningen University), we have access to in-depth and broad sector knowledge that helps our portfolio companies make strategic decisions.
Extensive network
The collaboration with our members and knowledge partners (see an overview of our partners here) results in a very extensive network in the Dutch and German horticultural sector. This helps our portfolio companies seize commercial opportunities and enter new geographical or sectoral markets.

Long term vision
As an investment cooperative, we invest the capital of our cooperative in companies that contribute to a sustainable future for the sector. This means that we:
- Invest with a long-term vision.
- Have the opportunity to invest additional capital in our portfolio companies so that they can further innovate and expand.
- Only sell our shares when the company is ready for a new phase of growth that can be better supported by another shareholder.
