Date                       :        1 July 1998

The above three parties, in the consideration that:

1.   It is the intention of above parties to stimulate the year-round supply and
     marketing of fresh bell peppers in North America under The Greenery label;

2.   APD Inc. is considering an investment in a 16 ha greenhouse  project in the
     U.S.A. for the production of bell peppers;

3.   This  contract is valid for the above  mentioned 16 ha  greenhouse  project
     only;

Have agreed as follows:

a.   The bell peppers produced in the above project which meet the Dutch quality
     requirements  for bell peppers  destined  for export to the U.S.A.  will be
     marketed by APD Inc. in North America under the brand name of The Greenery.
     The requirements will be specified in writing by The Greenery.

b.   APD will not enter into similar  arrangements,  meaning the  production  of
     fresh produce in North  America under the product name of European  growers
     and/or European produce,  or in co-operation with other European  marketing
     and/or  supplier   organisations,   with  the  exception  of  the  existing
     arrangements with the Spanish producer.

c.   APD is not allowed to market under The Greenery brand name that part of its
     production which does not meet the above mentioned requirements.

d.   The bell peppers of APD's  production  which are  marketed  under the brand
     name of The Greenery will be marketed in conformity with market prices.


<PAGE>

e.   Apart from the  marketing of the above bell  peppers  which are produced by
     APD itself,  APD will give their best efforts to stimulate the marketing of
     Greenery bell peppers through North America.

f.   APD will purchase the products under The Greenery label which it markets in
     North  America  and which are from  European  origin  through  the Van Dijk
     Beheer organisation.

g.   For the use of The Greenery  brand for its own  production,  APD will pay a
     fee of US$  [information  omitted and  subject to request for  confidential
     treatment] per kg produce.

h.   In return for payment of this fee, The Greenery  International  will assist
     APD in its marketing  efforts of Greenery  produce in North America.  These
     marketing  efforts will be focused on final key account level. The level of
     assistance will be agreed upon by both parties no later than 1 July 1998.

i.   Each year in the months of January/February,  APD, The Greenery and the Van
     Dijk organisation will jointly make a key account planning.

j.   All packing materials, advertising material etc. carrying the brand name of
     The Greenery should be submitted to The Greenery International for approval
     (in writing) before being used by APD.

k.   The Greenery  International  will have the  unlimited  right to control the
     qualities and quantities  needed of basic  materials  carrying The Greenery
     brand name  without  prior  consent of APD,  e.g.  at the  manufacturer  of
     packing  materials or at other stages of production,  storage,  etc. If the
     contract  should be terminated  by either party  earlier than  described in
     clause n., all  packaging  material  mentioned  in this  paragraph  will be
     returned to The Greenery International at cost.

l.   For the duration of this  agreement,  The Greenery  International  will not
     enter into  similar  agreements  subject to the  stipulation  hereunder  in
     clause m.

m.   In case the market  situation  requires an extension of the  production  of
     bell  peppers in North  America  which can be marketed  under The  Greenery
     brand,  APD  during a period of three  months  will have a first  option to
     confirm  that  they  will  comply  to a  request  for  extension  within  a
     reasonable  period of time. In case APD informs The Greenery  International
     that  it  can  not  or  will  not  extend  its  production,   The  Greenery
     International  will have the right to enter into  negotiations  and reach a
     similar agreement with other parties in North America.

n.   This agreement is made for a duration of five years, with a trial period of
     1 year.  After 9 months the agreement will be re-evaluated and in case of a
     successful first year the agreement will be continued for five years. After
     five  years the  agreement  can be  terminated  by each party upon one year
     prior  written  notice.  The exit clause during the trial period means that
     both parties can cancel this agreement due to  non-performance of the other
     party.

o.   Each of the parties will have the right to  terminate  this  agreement  per
     direct in the case of violation of the terms of this  agreement by (one of)
     the other part(ies).  Before a direct termination of the agreement,  a cure
     period of three months should be observed.

p.   APD will provide The Greenery International with the following information:
     quarterly  turnover figures, a customer list and volume indications for the
     Dutch imports.

q.   Settlement of the royalty  mentioned  under clause g. will take place every
     three months.

r.   An  arbitration  clause  will be added  later  after  further  consultation
     between the legal representatives of the parties involved.
