A foreign country has sent an entire delegation to discuss fruit and vegetables, a rare occurrence. The Netherlands has taken this step for two key reasons. One reason is the growth of this sector to a level where further development is viable. Another reason is the change in attitude since 2000, allowing foreign scientists to contribute to agriculture.

The Netherlands aims to strengthen sustainable horticulture and build resilient food systems. This effort is focused on a sector that is large and diverse.

Further details on this development are available from the source publication.
