  1. Dutch manure policy Seminar Portugal Emar Gemmeke Policy Coordinator

  2. Outline of the presentation • Dutch manure market • Farm Cycle • Dutch manure policy • Manure use • Manure production 4. European level 5. Conclusions Ministry of Economic Affairs

  3. 1. Dutch manure market Ministry of Economic Affairs

  4. Facts & figures – livestock numbers Ministry of Economic Affairs

  5. Manure production (1) Ministry of Economic Affairs

  6. Manure production (2) • Manure production: = 70.000 mln kg manure = 477 mln kg N = 172 mln kg P2O5 • Not equally distributed over the country • Surplus in South and East • Related to Pigs and Poultry farming • Room for 149 mln kg P2O5 (2011) • Surplus of 23 mln kg P2O5 Ministry of Economic Affairs

  7. Allocation of produced manure Own land Arable land Export Processed Ministry of Economic Affairs

  8. 2. Farm cycle Ministry of Economic Affairs

  9. Farm cycle Ministry of Economic Affairs

  10. Farm cycle (inputs) feed fertilizer Ministry of Economic Affairs

  11. Farm cycle (outputs) Animal products Animal manure Plant products Ministry of Economic Affairs

  12. CH4 NH3 NO3N2O NH3 CH4 N20 CO2 Odour NH3 CH4 Odour N20 CO2 NO3 P Farm cycle (losses) air Soil/water Ministry of Economic Affairs

  13. Use of N and P fertilisers Nitrogen (million kg N) Phosphorus (million kg P) Animal manure Other products Artificial fertiliser Ministry of Economic Affairs

  14. Nutrient surpluses Ministry of Economic Affairs

  15. Loess Sand Clay Peat Aim Monitoring – Nitrate in groundwater Ministry of Economic Affairs

  16. 3a. Dutch manure policy – manure use Ministry of Economic Affairs

  17. Application standards • For total nitrogen: differentiated with respect to: • Soil type • Crop, and in some cases: variety • In some cases: yields • For total phosphate: differentiated: • Land use (arable land or grassland) • Soil phosphate level Ministry of Economic Affairs

  18. Application standards - phosphate P2O5 application standards 2006 2010 2011 2012 2013 Grassland High phosphate level 110 90 90 85 85 Neutral phosphate level 110 100 95 95 95 Low phosphate level 110 100 100 100 100 Arable land High phosphate level 95 75 70 65 55 Neutral phosphate level 95 85 75 70 65 Low phosphate level 95 85 85 85 85 Ministry of Economic Affairs

  19. Application regulations – closed periods Ministry of Economic Affairs

  20. Derogation More efficient use of Nitrogen in animal manure • 170 kg N/ha/yr ---> 250 kg N/ha/yr • 850.000 ha ---> mainly highly productive grasslands • 22.500 farms ---> mainly dairy farms Annual monitoring: the aim of nitrate directive is realised Currently The Dutch government 5th Action Programme Nitrates Directive for 2014-2017 is nearly agreed. Again derogation request. Ministry of Economic Affairs

  21. 3b. Dutch manure policy – manure production Ministry of Economic Affairs

  22. Vision on Manure: The balance on Manure market (2011): • Creating a balance between manure production and manure use from 2015 onwards. Three routes described: • Manure processing • Animal feed • Fertilizer replacement Ministry of Economic Affairs

  23. Route 1. Manure processing Goal: Place part of the Dutch animal manure outside the Dutch agriculture. Examples: • Separating • Drying Export • Pasteurization • Combustion Ministry of Economic Affairs

  24. Ministry of Economic Affairs

  25. Manure Processing • To create enough processing capacity every farmer becomes responsible to process part of the surplus on the farm. • Mandatory manure processing will start from 1 January 2014 • Not equally distributed Ministry of Economic Affairs

  26. Route 2: Animal feed Goal: Minerals which are not in the feed, will not be in the manure Agreement with Farmers and Feed industry: • Decrease the concentration of phosphate in the feed • Innovation to create more efficient feed Monitoring (2012) • Decease of 5 mln kg P2O5 • Pigs: 3,4 mln kg • Cows: 1,0 mln kg • Poultry: 0,4 mln kg Ministry of Economic Affairs

  27. Route 3. Fertilizer Replacement Goal: Upgrading animal manure to an artificial fertilizer • Market of animal manure decreases • More use of renewable resources • Fertilizers with high efficiency • Contaminants Examples: • Mineral concentrates (fluid fertilizer) • Struvite Ministry of Economic Affairs

  28. European level Nitrate Directive • The Netherlands is working on the 5th Action Programme • Nitrate Directive exclude animal manure as source for artificial fertilizer • NL will look for opportunity for high quality fertilizers from animal manure Fertilizer Directive • EU is currently reviewing EU Fertilizer Directive • NL position to create room for fertilizers from renewable source Ministry of Economic Affairs

  29. To conclude… • Dutch manure policy focusses on manure use and production. • Strict rules for manure use are needed to create a market for products from manure. • Processing, Feed and Fertilizer replacement are all needed to develop a sustainable animal husbandry. • Innovation is going fast, and regulations need to adapt. Both national and on European level. Ministry of Economic Affairs
