What is the KoRo price chart?
In this chart, you can see the price per base unit (mainly 100g). In addition, you will learn the reason for a price reduction or increase by clicking on the information circles. -
Why is the price fluctuating?
Most annual product crops have an impact on the relationship between supply and demand in the market. In the event of a bad harvest, we must also pay a higher price for raw materials. Due to the strong impact of external factors such as wind, weather, climate and natural events on the harvest, we are refusing long-term cross-harvest contracts with our producers. -
Why are we communicating price changes at KoRo?
Open communication is very important to us and therefore part of our vision. For this reason, we would like to keep you informed of the evolution of our prices. Thus, the KoRo price chart provides a transparent overview of the evolution of the products prices over time.
Insight in development of KoRo's product range
Whole crunchy pecans 1 kg - a look behind the scenes
Born in the USA
Pecans originally come from the USA, where they are very popular, so much that the pecan tree is Texas official national tree. However, the cultivation of pecans is also possible outside of the American hemispheres, as all they need is sun and a warm climate.
A relative of walnuts
Pecan trees need to be at least ten meters away from other trees, because their big roots go very deep. The tree belongs to the walnut family, and the similarity is such, that pecans are also called American walnuts.
The first nuts can be harvested after several years
Farmers have to wait around five to eight years before being able to harvest the first nuts, which are, however, definitely worth the wait. Moreover, pecan trees often live for several thousand years, and keep on rewarding their owners - or rather their great-great-great-great-grandchildren - with their delicious fruits.
Shaken, not picked
How do you know when the pecans are ready to be harvested? The shell practically opens by itself and the nuts fall easily to the ground. This is why pecans are not picked by hand, which would be hard anyway, as the trees grow up to 35 m, but simply shaken off the tree.
Selected and processed
Once harvested, the nuts have to be peeled and sorted. Broken and whole kernels are divided, as the former ones are further processed, they are turned into pecan butter, for example, and the latter ones are sold for a higher price. For a delicious pecan-based snack, try our caramelised pecans!
