Shouguang purchased a greenhouse farm in 2012 and will soon finalize construction of their new two-floor training facility. These facilities in Lansingerland will conduct R&D on seed breeding and vegetable growing; provide training courses on food safety and processing; and process vegetables into value added products.
They chose Lansingerland for their first European presence because of its reputation as one of the most advanced and developed greenhouse areas in the world. Many vegetable growers apply high-tech methods to grow their products. Furthermore, many leading greenhouse companies and research institutes are located in this region. The WestHolland Foreign Investment Agency assisted Shouguang with the establishment of their operations and will continue to assist them with their expansion resulting from the cooperation with the China Development Bank.
