About us
In 2021, Groen Agro Control became part of Normec Foodcare. This has resulted in a unique combination of expertise in quality, label compliance and taste. What started 30 years ago as a small lab has grown into a unique company with advanced laboratories and research facilities in the Netherlands and Peru, and an extensive international agent network. Today Normec Groen Agro Control performs laboratory analyses for the horticulture, fruit and vegetable, and food industries. In addition, the company focuses on innovative research projects together with partners.
The colleagues are distinguished by a goal-oriented attitude and professional knowledge. Based on the latest insights and techniques, we develop advice, expertise and innovations. The developments and chain integration in the sector also increase the need for the objective measurements and specialist advice that Normec Groen Agro Control offers.
The activities of Normec Groen Agro Control are grouped around two central themes: optimal production and quality and optimal food safety. Our mission at Normec Groen Agro Control is to ensure that our customers achieve optimal performance thanks to our expertise. We analyze, research, structure, so that your company can perform better.

Residues under control: why pesticide analysis is critical for food safety
In the food industry, pesticide residue monitoring has long since ceased to be an administrative requirement. For producers of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, kernels and grains, it is a daily challenge to ensure that their products comply with legal residue limits (MRLs). For consumers, this means certainty and transparency; for producers, protection from recalls, import restrictions and reputational damage. Residue analyses are a strategic investment in food safety. They help companies demonstrate that their products comply with strict European standards, and contribute to customer and end consumer confidence. Indeed, a single violation can have major consequences, from negative publicity to the temporary withdrawal of products from the market.

Greenhouse horticulture is changing rapidly. As a grower, how do you stay in control?
The greenhouse horticulture sector is moving fast. Mergers, specialization, stricter retail requirements and social pressure are making the playing field more complex than ever. Anyone who wants to stay afloat must be able to change gear quickly, think strategically and gather the right partners around them. Klaas-Jan de Ruiter knows all about that. Since November 2024 he is commercial manager at Normec Groen Agro Control. Before that he worked for years in various technical and commercial positions within the greenhouse industry. He knows the sector through and through, from substrate and climate to cultivation and marketing.

Testing for PFAS
Until recently, only businesses could have eggs tested for the presence of PFAS. To address the growing need for PFAS analyses among private chicken owners, Testenoppfas.nl, in collaboration with Normec Groen Agro Control, is proud to introduce a new platform: TestenOpPFAS.nl. Through this online platform, PFAS testing is now available to you in a simple and accessible way.
