SVZ expands premium fruit and vegetable ingredient portfolio through strategic integration

SVZ, a leading provider of fruit and vegetable ingredients, is including the tropical fruit ingredient brand Netra Agro into its core product line. As a specialised subsidiary for dependable and sustainably produced tropical fruit components, such as Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) fruit pieces, purees, and concentrates, SVZ has run Netra Agro for nearly 30 years.

Now, in a calculated move to solidify its standing as a reliable supplier in the industry, SVZ will completely take over Netra Agro’s operations and product line, guaranteeing total service continuity for its clientele worldwide. It is anticipated that the integration process will be completed in early 2026, having already begun.

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.”
