Netherlands: Food Processing Ingredients
The Dutch food processing sector generates a turnover of USD 92.4 billion and production growth is supported by growing demand from mainly Germany and Belgium. Growing exports are also the main driver behind Dutch imports. Dutch food companies have been working closely together to ensure their products are safe and competitive and more recently that they are also healthy, nutritious and sustainable in order to meet consumer demand. Despite fierce competition from suppliers in other European Union member states and other countries, Dutch food companies are always on the lookout for food ingredients from the United States that might give them a competitive advantage.
