The first question comes from Ad van Kester, with whom we had a conversation last time: As director of HortiTech, how do you use Dutch expertise to stimulate the growth of the agricultural sector worldwide, especially in tomato cultivation?
Peet: “We build knowledge by conducting research and offering training and consultancy to foreign growers. We try to convey practical knowledge, such as which systems and facilities are really needed, depending on different climate zones. We also train people who are new to the sector and provide remote support by implementing and monitoring self-regulatory systems. Our role is to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This automatically applies to the tomato cultivation that Ad is talking about, because this is simply the largest market abroad in which the Netherlands is a major player.”
