Dutch produce wholesaler Naki Groothandel has added several greenhouse operations near Venlo to its supply base, covering approximately 210,000 square metres, or 21 hectares, according to original reporting by AGF.nl.
AGF.nl’s headline describes the move as acquisitions, while the article says Naki invested in several greenhouse horticulture businesses. The reporting does not identify the acquired or invested-in companies, their exact sites, the transaction value or legal closing dates. Those details should therefore not be inferred.
Dutch production for a cross-border market
The greenhouses are reported to be on the Dutch side of the Netherlands-Germany border, close to the A67-A40 corridor. Naki plans to grow aubergines, cucumbers, mini-cucumbers and Çıtır cucumbers across the sites.
The wholesaler said the new Dutch production will extend its existing own-grown supply from Turkey and support year-round sourcing. AGF.nl reported that Naki targets the wider European market, with Germany its largest sales destination. The company’s existing wholesale branch is at Fresh Park Venlo.
Vertical integration, with key details undisclosed
Naki’s public website describes the business as a Venlo-based wholesaler sourcing produce directly from its own production in Antalya, Turkey. The AGF.nl report says a wider range of fruit and vegetables is grown in Turkey within CNG Group, but does not set out the precise corporate relationship between CNG Group and the Dutch greenhouse assets.
The first harvests are expected in January, according to the report. Because the article was published in September 2026 but does not explicitly state the year attached to January, HortiSignal is not assigning a specific harvest year.
Why it matters
The reported 21-hectare addition would give Naki a sizeable Dutch production footprint alongside its wholesale and Turkish sourcing activities. For European buyers, the strategic signal is tighter control of greenhouse supply close to the German market. The commercial effect cannot yet be quantified because crop allocation by site, expected volumes, capital deployed and deal structure remain undisclosed.
