Agri Holland
We will take you on a journey through this agricultural country of The Netherlands, showing you what the future of farming could look like.

The Netherlands, a strip of fertile and reclaimed land, is strategically positioned in Northwest Europe. With more than 17 million inhabitants, this small country is the second largest exporter of agricultural products in the world, just after The United States. Over half of the total surface is in use for agriculture.
The country benefits from access to the sea, rail and trucking ports and distribution networks of European’s most vital waterways (Rhine, Meuse, Scheldt). The Netherlands is known for milk, dairy and cheese, arable and horticulture farming: vegetables and flowers in fully computerised greenhouses. Precision farming and automatic milking systems are well developed.


Some of the excursions we offer:
The Netherlands is a dairy country with old traditions in the production and consumption of milk, butter, and cheese. its image is inextricably linked to a characteristic landscape of fields dotted with cows and windmills. Behind this image lies, a modern sector which is constantly innovating thanks to the combination of University research and collaboration between many Dutch companies.
Three out of the five widely used milking robots are manufactured in the Netherlands, two of the biggest worldwide operational semen organizations are based in the Netherlands, and two of the three internationally used Herd management programs are controlled by Dutch-based companies that make farmers’ lives easier with innovative solutions and tailored services.
An authentic experience can be found in a demonstration greenhouse, where more than 80 different tomato varieties are grown, using the so-called Dutch Method.
