AGRO Merchants Maasvlakte is located in Rotterdam, the largest European Port and main gateway for food products. AGRO Maasvlakte provides a wide range of services for the meat and seafood industries, this includes a Veterinary Border Control Post (BCP). The modern facility achieved a BREEAM Excellent rating for sustainability. The facility is located in the proximity of the new container terminals at the Port of Rotterdam and in addition to supporting import/export flows, Maasvlakte works closely with all other AGRO cold stores in the Netherlands and across our international network.
The BCP offers inspections of goods for human and non-human consumption. Products of animal origin imported from countries outside the European Union (third countries) must undergo veterinary inspection upon entering the EU. AGRO works with the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), to organize the inspections at the BCP.
