We know the market requirements in respect of the quality, dimensions, packaging and appearance of products.
Products are inspected extensively and independently
Products are stored and transported at the right temperature in order to offer the best quality. After arrival at the warehouse, all products are first checked very carefully by our own quality control experts and registered in our quality control system (QC one). Finally, the products are inspected again by an independent institution, the Quality Control Bureau (KCB).
We provide all the necessary export documentation.
For export to Russia, it is of the utmost importance that all documentation and labelling meets strict conditions. Thanks to years of experience in this field, we take perfect care of this for you so that your products arrive at their destination without delay.

Products are inspected extensively
Quality inspections are carried out to guarantee premium quality. Our fruit and vegetables are therefore inspected extensively at our suppliers. During the sourcing process, our buyers visit suppliers to check whether they meet our quality standards. Hoofdman-Roodzant only works with suppliers with whom we have developed a relationship based on trust over recent years.

History
Quality
Quality is our top priority and since we hold no stock and keep chains short, we are able to achieve this every day.
Facilities
We carry out virtually all logistics activities at our site in Barendrecht in the Netherlands thanks to a good partnership with Fresh Pack Logistics. They are responsible for all our logistics activities. This methodology ensures the activities comply with all required certification (HACCP, BRC/IFS). Quality control is carried out by our own QC team using the QC One module. We are therefore able to provide our suppliers and clients with a customised quality assurance report anywhere, any time.
History
Hoofdman Roodzant is known as one of the leading exporters of fruit and vegetables to Russia. Our wonderful, originally family-run business, was founded at the end of the Seventies. We started exporting to Russia at the start of the Nineties and developed into one of the biggest players on the Dutch market. Over the years, Hoofdman Roodzant has experienced many tumultuous years, the Russian financial crisis of 1998, the import boycott of 2011 in the wake of the E.coli scare, and naturally, the most recent Russian boycott of imported European fruit and vegetables of mid-2014. Many quit the market, but we persevered. Thanks to our knowledge of the market, we are now able to make a difference for many producers worldwide. We position ourselves as a market specialist and a reliable partner in a complex market. We do all this with a small, enthusiastic team of national and international employees.
