Sales Manager – South Europe

Tradin Organic is a global front-runner in organic ingredients. Founded over 30 years ago and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have grown into a worldwide network sourcing, processing, and supplying more than 150 organic ingredients from over 60 origins. Our diverse portfolio carries a wide range of certifications and includes frozen fruit and vegetables, dried fruits, coffee, cocoa, sugar, grains, beans, pulses, seeds, nuts, oils, fats, fruit concentrates, sweeteners, and more.

Our full-service approach is built on a unique supply chain that connects directly with farmers and sourcing projects around the world. With strong traceability, in-house processing facilities – such as our cocoa factory in the Netherlands and our sunflower plant in Bulgaria – and rigorous quality assurance, we ensure reliable and sustainable ingredient supply.

At Tradin Organic, we don’t just trade organic ingredients. We partner with farmers, invest in sustainable agriculture, and contribute to the Nature Positive movement, helping restore soils, protect biodiversity, and build resilient supply chains.

Together, we supply organic ingredients that taste good and do good. Join us in our mission to make organic everyone’s first choice.
