Asian vegetables

Fourteen Asian vegetables, grown in greenhouses by Konsman Vegetables in South Holland. Specialising in five types of pak choi, complemented by kailan, mak choi, choy sum, am choi, kai choi, tong ho, hin choi, ong choi and wosun.

Eleven varieties are available year-round, with three available in summer and autumn. With a single Dutch grower, you can cater for both the core vegetable range and Asian cuisine, from mild pak choi to peppery kai choi.

Growers

Konsman Vegetables began in 1998 as a small business founded by Konsman senior. His son Robbin grew up in the industry and took over the business in 2020; since then, its growing area, range and capacity have expanded. Pak choi and related vegetables are Konsman’s speciality. Everything is grown in greenhouses at the company’s own sites in South Holland, and speciality crops can be grown on request.

In Monster, insect netting keeps pests out across 5 hectares without the use of chemicals. Konsman is certified to GLOBALG.A.P., GRASP and PlanetProof standards.
