Zon and Unica sell and market fruit and vegetables on behalf of growers and supply direct to customers.

Zon, which has 400 affiliated growers, generates annual turnover of EUR261m. Unica, which has 900 growers, makes EUR139m in revenues.
Both companies market products including peppers, cucumbers and watermelon.
