Strawberries take flight at the Expedition!
12 June 2026
At Lagache Expédition, each of us is a product specialist.
With the recruitment of Marie Declerck following her work-study placement, we finally have our ‘strawberries and red berries’ specialist. Her role: to develop the strawberry range for wholesalers and supermarkets. And when Marie takes charge, things really take off!
An offering tailored to customer needs
“When we first started out, we tried everything to gain a thorough understanding of both the product and the market,” explains Marie.
Today, this learning phase is paying off. The team has an excellent understanding of the market and its customers’ expectations.
Sweet, firm, large or small sizes, specific packaging: every customer has their own preferences and Lagache Expédition adapts.
This approach allows them to offer a bespoke range whilst relying on a rigorous selection of products.
All the strawberries sold by Lagache Expédition come from the Belgian region.
Marie buys from the BelOrta, REO and Hoogstraten auctions, and also buys directly from a few independent, high-quality producers.
Varieties to suit every need
Because every customer is looking for specific characteristics, we offer a range of varieties.
✔️ Sonsation: a nice round shape, very sweet, a real ‘candy strawberry’.
✔️ Parlando and Florice: less well-known but particularly tasty and very visually appealing.
✔️ Karima: a variety renowned for its firm texture and resilience.
This diversity enables Lagache to meet the market’s various needs precisely.
A trusted partner right through to the end of the season
Thanks to its strong presence in the Belgian market, Lagache Expédition remains particularly active when the French season is struggling and as it draws to a close.
The company then acts as a vital link for its customers, ensuring a continuous supply of high-quality products that meet their expectations.
“The customer trusts their buyer. Our role is to offer them the right strawberries, at the right time and in the right packaging.”
An exclusive partnership that matters
Another major advantage: Lagache is the exclusive distributor in France for BelOrta’s TOP brand.
This recognition is a testament to the relationship of trust built with producers and the expertise developed within this rapidly growing sector.
A fine example of Lagache Expédition’s ambition: to develop specialised supply chains, create value for producers and provide ever more solutions for its customers.
