SVZ integrates tropical fruit specialists Netra Agro

Fruit and vegetable ingredients supplier SVZ is set to fully integrate tropical fruit ingredient brand Netra Agro into the core SVZ portfolio. For almost 30 years, SVZ has operated Netra Agro as a specialised subsidiary for reliably and sustainably sourced tropical fruit ingredients, including IQF (individually quick frozen) fruit pieces, purees and concentrates. Now, SVZ will fully absorb Netra Agro’s products and operations, while ensuring complete continuity of service for its global customer base. The integration process is already underway and is expected to be fully concluded in early 2026.

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.

“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.”
