On November 5, 2026, the Constance Regional Court confirmed in preliminary injunction proceedings the comprehensive supply obligation regarding the greenhouse areas in Singen-Beuren covered by the contract. For Reichenau-Gemüse, the decision establishes a legal basis for further planning. At the same time, the cooperative notes that it had already proposed an orderly and reliable transition back in August.
The aim of this offer was to provide planning certainty for the coming season to both the departing companies and the remaining members, employees, and customers. No agreement was reached. From the cooperative's perspective, an early agreement could have prevented costs, additional burdens, and uncertainty. Meanwhile, valuable preparation time for the 2027 season has been lost. This makes it all the more important now to clarify the terms of future cooperation in a binding manner.
