Visit BelOrta

BelOrta is buzzing with activity. On a single sales day, the staff sometimes handle up to 4,000 tons of fruits and vegetables. You definitely won’t be bored when you visit Europe’s largest cooperative auction. Our experienced company guide will happily tell you more about the history of the auction system, and of BelOrta in particular. You’ll learn how the auction system works, follow the journey that fruits and vegetables take from the producer to your local supermarket, watch the unique clock auction system up close, and much more.
