Growing Trust. Growing Curaçao: CurHydro Welcomes Hucor Holding

Food security becomes tangible when local growers and the businesses serving our communities build lasting relationships. At CurHydro, that work is taking shape among rows of fresh lettuce at our pilot greenhouse in Plantage Santa Catharina.

We were pleased to welcome the Logistics and Quality Control teams from Hucor Holding, the group behind the local KFC, Pizza Hut and Subway businesses in Curaçao. These businesses are CurHydro clients, making the visit an opportunity to connect the people growing the produce with the teams responsible for quality and supply.

Trust begins at the source.

The visit focused on quality and food safety: priorities that belong at the heart of every conversation about fresh produce. For CurHydro, growing locally goes hand in hand with listening to clients, understanding their requirements and continuing to improve how we work.

Strong relationships create space for practical dialogue between growers, logistics teams and quality professionals. That connection matters as we work toward dependable local supply and the standards our customers expect.

Food security is a local opportunity.

Our ambition reaches beyond an individual harvest. More local production can help diversify the island’s food supply, bring growers closer to their customers and create opportunities for skills, enterprise and employment here at home.

CurHydro’s hydroponic pilot is where we build practical experience in Curaçao’s conditions. Every growing cycle and every client conversation helps inform the next stage: developing a larger local production business with quality, resource use and market needs at its core.

A working pilot. A bigger ambition.

Founded in 2018, with pilot production beginning in 2023, CurHydro combines an operating farm with a clear ambition for phased commercial expansion. Our current facility remains a pilot; the planned expansion is subject to financing and project delivery.

For investors, public-sector partners and businesses interested in Curaçao’s future, this is an invitation to look closer: at the work already under way, at our client relationships, and at the opportunity to help build the island’s local food capacity.

We thank Hucor Holding’s Logistics and Quality Control teams for visiting and for the dialogue. Relationships like these connect today’s work with tomorrow’s possibilities.
