Royal Koopmans wins Agribusiness Award with Nedertarwe

Royal Koopmans has won the Agribusiness Award with Nedertarwe. The award was presented on February 4 during the ‘Insights Live’ seminar at the ABN AMRO Open 2025 tennis tournament. This is an important recognition for all partners in the supply chain, especially the Nedertarwe growers and bakers.

Jury praises ambition and supply chain approach

The jury commended Royal Koopmans for its ambition, dedication, and long-term commitment to making Nedertarwe a success. For over ten years, the company has worked with farmers, supply chain partners, and nature organizations to introduce Dutch-grown grain into the bread sector. Innovation in cultivation, processing, and preparation has been central to this effort. The approach is not a ‘zero-sum game,’ where one party benefits at another’s expense, but a model that creates value for all involved.

Sustainable impact on the sector

According to the jury, Nedertarwe is a prime example of how collaboration can drive sustainable innovation. The carbon footprint within the supply chain has been measurably reduced. Additionally, the jury highlighted the unifying power and inspiring nature of Royal Koopmans and its partners. The award reinforces that it is possible to excel within a specific segment of the sector while respecting people, the environment, and the product.
