This time, we focus on the horticultural developments in Asia and the opportunities for companies from abroad.

Asia is not only the largest continent in the world in terms of area, but with 3.97 billion inhabitants it also accommodates no less than 61% of the total world population. That also means that a lot of people need to be fed. Currently, a lot of food is still imported, but in the future, Asian countries want to produce more and more themselves to be self-sufficient. To achieve this, the help from companies with the right expertise is necessary. It offers opportunities for specialists from established or well-developed horticultural countries, such as the Netherlands.
