Last week, we immersed our guests from the Gulf region in the heart of knowledge sharing, education, networking, and innovation for sustainable food production. Our goal: introduce the delegates to the innovations and sustainable solutions of Dutch horticultural technology, gain insights, and lay the foundation for collaborations that will accelerate local and sustainable production. We felt honored to showcase the strength of the greenhouse industry to the enthusiastic delegation from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.
The delegation looks back on an inspiring visit to the Dutch horticultural sector. During the mission, they became acquainted with sustainable food production and experienced how this can make a difference in addressing challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, food waste, and public health. The delegates are eager to bring these insights back to the Gulf region and collaborate with Dutch partners on their food safety ambitions.
This trade mission was organized by Dutch Greenhouse Delta (Giovanni Angiolini) in collaboration with the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO), Embassy and Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the United Arab Emirates (Nienke Gelderloos) and the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality.
We would like to thank all our DGD-Gulf region partners and the companies we’ve visited for their hospitality and the valuable experiences the Gulf delegates gained during their visits!
