"Dagens contributes to finding new customers and thus expands our market, this is well supported by the logistics task Dagens also solves for us. We believe Dagens' business model will gain ground, as it, compared to similar food wholesalers, is far more transparent and competitive for both buyer and seller."

Lars Hvidtfeldt, Danish Quinoa group, DK

“As a food producer, you have so many jobs. From mucking out the barn, raising pigs and cows, and tending to crops -
to being an accountant, sales representative and marketing manager. At Dagens, I can focus mainly on my production. They give me and the other producers the opportunity to get the part of the cake that we deserve”
