Where it comes from: Salmon
Location: Norway / Germany
Norway is one of the world‘s largest producers of farmed salmon. Anyone planning a trip to see the fjords of the country can look forward to unique view – the salmon farms are practically everywhere. The breeding of salmon is on the increase in Norway; since 1998, the production has more than tripled and the demand continues to rise – especially through the worldwide trend of Sushi consumption. We show you the complete journey – from birth to the supermarket!
Where it comes from: Jaffa Oranges
Location: Israel / Deutschland
Nearly 1.78 billion tons of oranges are harvested and shipped annually. Thus, the Orange is among the top 10 of the world‘s best-selling goods. Israel is a world champion in the export and development of new breeds of oranges, and also delivers to Europe in record time. In fact more than 50% of the annual harvest is exported. While Israel is one of the major suppliers of citrus fruits in the EU, it is also famous for the development of new breeds. For example the famed Jaffa Orange, which elevates the orange from being just an orange to a brand – and one which is fought over with much vehemence…
We look behind the scenes of the Jaffa logistic and follow the oranges from the field to the supermarket.

Where it comes from: Tomato Heroes
Location: Netherlands / Germany
The majority of our tomatoes stem from industrial greenhouse crops located in European countries – with 40% of tomatoes consumed in Europe coming from Holland.
The specialists of greenhouse plantations have been hard at work in order to diminish their previously established bad reputation from the 1970s – and with great success. Instead of (quite literally) tasteless mass production, the Dutch are placing importance upon sustainability and environmentally friendly techniques these days.
We take a look behind the scenes of the high-tech greenhouses!
Where it comes from: A Giant’s Journey
The container ships in the Triple-E class are amongst the largest cargo ships in the world. Almost ten million tons of goods are shipped – and this is just in the EU. Upon a daily basis. Hundreds of thousands of containers brimming with consumer goods must be watched by a vigilant eye. Almost 90% of all goods that we consume these days come from distant lands. The new era of the mega logistic.
