Vlissingen Port Market
Vlissingen handles about 12 million tons of cargo yearly through its North Sea terminals. The port connects directly to Rotterdam's inland waterway network, cutting transport costs by 15-20% for EU buyers. Japanese importers route through here because it's closer to Antwerp's food processing hubs than Hamburg. Dutch customs clear agricultural shipments in 2-3 days. Most buyers here want red skin peanuts for confectionery plants in Belgium and Germany. TJ Type moves fast because the 38-42 count matches what snack manufacturers need. No storage delays if you book 20ft containers.
