The Dutch Agricultural Counselor’s office in Washington, DC has debuted a new portal, HollandHorticulture.com designed to help the US and Dutch greenhouse sectors make connections in the world of high-tech horticulture and floriculture.
The Dutch greenhouse sector has long been a world frontrunner in all aspects of optimizing greenhouse production, including water and energy usage, greenhouse construction techniques, LED multi-layer production, seed hybridization, greenhouse research and more.
“The US and the Netherlands are top producers of quality horticulture and floriculture products,” says Martin Olde Monnikhof, the Dutch agricultural counselor, “There’s much we can gain from working together in areas such as new varieties, innovative technologies, greenhouse expertise, and sustainable production practices. It’s time to make connections!”
The HollandHorticulture.com portal is hosted on the popular HollandFoodPartner.com, a cooperative effort of the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Washington, D.C. and the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency dedicated to the food production industry. The horticultural section of the web site focuses on production of both food and flower crops.
