Do you want to achieve structurally better results as a soft fruit grower? Berry Consultancy Group offers specialised soft fruit growing advice that helps you optimise the quality, yield and resilience of your crop. We support growers of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries with practical and innovative guidance. Thanks to our combination of in-depth knowledge, years of practical experience and continuous involvement in the sector, we help companies move forward successfully.
As an independent consultancy, we focus entirely on the soft fruit sector. Our focus is on realising sustainable and profitable cultivation strategies. We work with farms of varying scale and always tailor cultivation advice to the farm's unique situation. Whether in open ground, greenhouse cultivation or through cultivation: we offer targeted support that is directly applicable in practice.
Our team consists of experienced crop consultants, each with their own expertise. Together, we ensure complete coverage of all cultivation aspects: from start to harvest. Our working method is personal, transparent and goal-oriented. We take the time to get to know each company well and build long-term relationships in which mutual trust and knowledge sharing are central. This allows us to respond more quickly when circumstances change or new opportunities arise.
Good cultivation advice does not stop with one-off advice. We actively guide growers throughout the season. We analyse growth data, perform soil and water analyses and advise on climate settings, fertilisation, crop protection and choice of varieties. Our guidance is aimed at recognising risks, exploiting growth opportunities and improving the total cultivation process.
This seasonal guidance makes it possible to make timely adjustments and prevent problems before they develop. Whether it's a growth deficit, sudden pest pressure or deviations in fruit quality: we help quickly, practically and effectively. In doing so, we provide clear reports and concrete action points, so that, as a grower, you know exactly where you stand.
Our advice is based on up-to-date knowledge and our own practical research. We test new varieties, innovative cultivation methods and sustainable solutions in close cooperation with growers. We translate that knowledge directly into usable advice. This way, we combine science with practice and create a future-oriented approach to soft-fruit cultivation. This enables growers to respond faster to changing conditions, from climate fluctuations to more stringent market demands.
In doing so, we look beyond the crop. We think about the design of cultivation systems, energy efficiency, labour efficiency and the application of new technologies. Think of sensors, data loggers and crop registration programmes. Our aim is to help growers streamline and professionalise their processes, with an eye for sustainability and profitability.
Soft fruit growing advice is nowadays inextricably linked to sustainability. We help think of ways to reduce input flows, make the crop more resilient and apply environmentally friendly solutions. From organic crop protection to energy and water savings, we balance sustainability with productivity. We also help growers in certification processes, such as PlanetProof or GlobalG.A.P.
We encourage the use of natural enemies, pheromones and mechanical crop protection where possible. We also look at the long term, for example by advising on soil improvement, substrate choices and rotation systems that contribute to a healthier growing environment. Combining resilient plants with resilient systems creates a strong base that can withstand extremes and perform better under pressure.
Whether you are looking for better plant balance, more efficient irrigation or higher fruit quality - we help you with targeted and achievable steps. With our help, growers can not only steer in the short term, but also build on structural improvement. We are involved, think with you and go all out for a strong crop result.
Our advice is always concrete, measurable and directly executable. We use cultivation data, but never lose sight of practice. That makes our approach unique: scientifically based, but above all focused on results in the field. Moreover, we are constantly learning and developing. We invest in training, networking and knowledge sharing, so that our clients can always count on the most up-to-date and relevant advice.
