"Condensation drying technology as a nursing home"
according to Marcel Bennink
In the March 2019 Onion Special, AGF Primeur paid extensive attention to the current state of affairs in the onion sector.

In the beginning, the agricultural sector had to get used to this new technology, but now it has proven its added value. Onions that exit our storage rooms are the best advertisement.
