A high-level Indonesian delegation, including two senior advisors to the country’s new president, recently visited the World Horti Center. The goal of this visit was to explore opportunities for strengthening the local horticulture sector, with a special focus on food security and Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). During their visit, they engaged in discussions with representatives of Dutch horticultural companies and discovered cutting-edge innovations shaping the future of sustainable food production.

Opportunities for Dutch-Indonesian Collaboration
Indonesia offers significant potential for sustainable horticulture, particularly in North Sumatra, where 11,500 hectares have been designated for climate-resilient farming to enhance food security. With the growing demand for innovative solutions in greenhouse technology, high-quality planting materials, sustainable agriculture, and food processing, Dutch expertise can play a crucial role in accelerating Indonesia’s transition to a future-proof food system.
By working together, the Netherlands and Indonesia can create a lasting impact on sustainable food production and security.
