On 16 February, the first greenhouse asparagus of the season was auctioned before the clock at ZON fruit & vegetables.
Rick Mengers, Product Manager at ZON, personally visited Geleen to hand Loek Smets the box of asparagus.
The first asparagus came from GVP B.V. of Maasbree. The first crate was bought by P. Smets & Zn. from Geleen and the proceeds will go to Giro 555 for the victims of the earthquake disaster in Turkey and Syria. Postuma AGF, Enes B.V., Bidi and Ketelaar Groenten en Fruit also donated a nice amount.
The total proceeds of these are EUR 3,535.00 and because ZON then doubles these proceeds, the final amount for Giro 555 is a whopping EUR 7,070.00.
