A specialist,
not a generalist

Hazelport is a dedicated hazelnut brokerage based in the Netherlands. We do one thing: source, broker and deliver premium bulk hazelnuts to European buyers. This focus means deeper origin knowledge, stronger supplier relationships and better prices than generalist nut traders can offer.

Operating from the Netherlands, the heart of European commodity trading, we provide direct access to certified processors in all major hazelnut-producing regions, with full logistics coordination through the port of Rotterdam.
