The members of the cooperation produce fruit trees and rootstocks according to the certification of Naktuinbouw Elite Pome fruit. The certification Naktuinbouw Elite Pomefruit is a quality plus system developed by the growers and  Naktuinbouw (the Netherlands Inspection Service for Horticulture; an Autonomous Public Body). This product certificate assures the superior quality of the plant material. Within this certification program attention is paid to varietal purity, origin, health (free of viruses, fungi, bacteria and nematodes) and quality.

The 30 participating Dutch growers can be recognised by the characteristic Elite Pome Fruit certification label! By buying the Naktuinbouw Elite Pome fruit products you are assured of buying a high quality product! 

Second important objective of the cooperation is the coordination of research to increase the quality of fruit trees and rootstocks.
