— John Roulac, Founder, Nutiva

During my time at Nutiva, I had the pleasure of working closely with Hendrik Rabbie. Hendrik was always a dependable supplier and an invaluable source of market insights. His out-of-the-box thinking and deep understanding of the organic industry made him an important ally in advancing our mission for healthier, organic products.

— Wim Rabbie, Co Founder, Tradin Organic

I am deeply inspired by how Terra Nostra has championed and expanded upon the vision Gerard Versteegh and I embraced when founding Tradin Organic over 30 years ago. Today's work, amidst the challenges posed by GMOs and laboratory-modified agriculture, is crucial. We must continue to build supply chains that not only drive social and sustainable change globally but also honor our foundational commitment to organic integrity. Now more than ever, our mission to foster environmentally sound and equitable food systems is imperative

I have always cherished the collaboration with Hendrik Rabbie. I reflect fondly on our journeys together across Southeast Asia in pursuit of innovative ingredients for plant-based cheese. I regard Hendrik not just as a professional ally but as a friend. I appreciate his commitment and contributions to the organic vegan food industry. This partnership has been pivotal in exploring new avenues for vegan cuisine, underscoring our shared dedication to sustainability and culinary innovation.

Hendrik has been a partner and friend for well more than a decade, and when it comes to issues of organic integrity and sourcing international organic products, I trust him completely. The explosive and unprecedented growth of Terra Nostra is a testament that I am hardly the only one who feels this way.
