Top sport in tomatoes<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The global shortage of food and space calls for smart solutions. With our team, we work like top athletes to grow healthy vine tomatoes. By making optimal use of every square metre and using raw materials efficiently, we produce more tomatoes in a small area. In this way, we contribute to a more sustainable future and we like to do that tomorrow even better than today.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Family business<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Schenkeveld is a family business. Leo Schenkeveld started growing various crops in 1937, Jan and Peter Schenkeveld expanded this into a fully-fledged greenhouse horticultural business. In 2002, Schenkeveld stopped growing cucumbers and switched entirely to vine tomatoes. Schenkeveld became a member of Prominent.<\/p>\n

Schenkeveld has expanded over the years to five locations in the Westland region and a complex of greenhouses in Rijsenhout.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Harting Holland<\/h3>\n

In 2025, Harting Holland and Schenkeveld joined forces. This has created a new combination in greenhouse vegetables under shared ownership, continuing together under their own name, operations and marketing structure.<\/p>\n

The collaboration responds to changing market conditions, ongoing consolidation and the desire to be even more innovative, sustainable and efficient within the industry.<\/p>\n

Joost Barendse, Richard Schenkeveld, Richard Hartensveld, Piet van der Wel John and Joris Harting now form the management of Schenkeveld and Harting Holland.<\/p>\n

This is another step in our ambition to be a top player in greenhouse vegetables. Together with our employees and partners, we are set for further optimisation and growth.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow even better than today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
