Dutch agriculture
The Dutch agricultural sector is known internationally for its expertise and skills. The Netherlands is the second exporter of agricultural products worldwide and in 2012 the total agrofood sector contributed 9% of value added to the Dutch economy. Besides primary agriculture, the total agrofood sector encompasses processing and distribution of agricultural products, and the supply of products and services needed such as energy, fertiliser and business services.
