Performance Integrity
AGT Poortman is the supplier of choice of Pulses and Birdseeds to customers in the UK, Europe and beyond. This enviable position is a result of the knowledge and experience gained over 140 years as Pulse and Birdseed importers, distributors and stockists.
The import and distribution of the many varieties of Beans, Lentils, Chickpeas and Peas, Millet, Canary, Sunflower and Niger Seeds supplied by AGT Poortman is seen by many in the food industry as a volatile process carrying inherent risks; however the company’s long experience means that AGT Poortman traders understand these risks and how to manage them, providing consistent quality and continuity of supply to customers.
