SVZ expands premium fruit and vegetable ingredient portfolio with integration of tropical fruit specialists Netra Agro
[BREDA, NETHERLANDS, September 24, 2025] – Premium fruit and vegetable ingredients supplier SVZ today announces its decision to fully integrate tropical fruit ingredient brand Netra Agro into the core SVZ portfolio. For almost 30 years, SVZ has operated Netra Agro as a specialised subsidiary for reliably and sustainably sourced tropical fruit ingredients, including IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) fruit pieces, purees and concentrates. Now, in a strategic move to strengthen its position as a trusted supplier in the market, SVZ will fully absorb Netra Agro’s products and operations, while ensuring complete continuity of service for its global customer base. The integration process is already underway and is expected to be fully concluded in early 2026.
The addition of Netra Agro’s exotic fruit portfolio, and specific expertise in transporting tropical fruit, makes SVZ a single-source provider for any fruit or vegetable ingredient need. The decision not only gives SVZ’s customers direct access to high-quality tropical ingredients like mango, banana and pineapple in various formats, but also allows Netra Agro’s existing customers to benefit from increased procurement, production, and distribution capabilities, in addition to the service they already know and value.
“The move to integrate Netra Agro and its decade-spanning expertise in tropical fruit sourcing reflects SVZ’s mission to become the leading sustainable ingredient partner for food and beverage producers around the globe,” said Johan Cerstiaens, Managing Director at SVZ. “As we support our teams through the transition, we want to assure Netra Agro customers that they will continue to receive the same high levels of service and quality now, and well into the bright new future ahead. We will provide further updates on the integration process and the promising path forward.”
