  1. Technical innovations in the Dutch Agrifood sectorPolicy goals, trends and challenges Dr. Evert Jan Krajenbrink, Dutch Agricultural Counsellor in Japan 7 September 2017, Philippines

  2. Content of the presentation • The performance of Dutch agriculture and food industry • Dutch innovation model • Sectoral and societal challenges • Technological trends and developments

  3. General information • Geographically small – 134th position in the world. • Densely populated country with 17.0 million people – 65st position worldwide. • Strategic central location – 160 million consumers (half of the EU) within a 300-mile (482.8 km) radius. Amsterdam  • Capital: Amsterdam • Currency: Euro (€) • Area: 33,800 km² • Population: 17.0 million • Income per capita: 39 300 euro

  4. Performance of the Dutch agribusiness • Agri-food industry is among the top three contributors to the Dutch GDP • € 50,2 billion in added value, almost 10 % of Dutch economy and employment for 660,000 people (directly and indirectly) • Holland is the world's second largest agri-food exporter. • € 94 billion agricultural export (85 bn. Food and 9 bn. Technology) in 2016 (+4,4%) • appr. 80% exported to EU-member states • Wageningen UR the #1 worldwide in agri & food

  5. Historical overview of production increase I

  6. Historical overview of production increase II Egg production in the Netherlands (in mln. kg) 1924-2012

  7. Historical overview of production increase III 1950 • 33 mln. Hens produced 224 mln. kg. eggs • Milk production cow 4.000 liter 2015 • 43 mln. Hens produce 672 mln. Kg. (10,3 bl. Eggs) • Milk production cow 8.200 liter Conclusion Agricultural production 5 times higher in 2015 than in 1950 because of innovation, larger scale and mechanization

  8. Comparision of productivity (FAO, 2014)

  9. Dutch innovation model: Public-Private Research partnerships “golden triangle”

  10. Collaboration between government, private sector, research institutions, on national, regional and local level, Originates from traditional cooperation in education, research and education, but now also creates frameworks for innovation. Co-financing models.

  11. Corperate HQ or R&D Innovative Companies Universities in Agri-Food Food R&D centre Regional Food clusters Innovation driven agricultural sector

  12. DAIRY FARMING • Specialised dairy farms: • 18,265 • Ave cows per farm: • 89 • Total number of dairy cows • 1.6 mln • Milk per dairy cow • 8,338 liter

  13. Challenges Dutch dairy sector • Uncertain market (milkprice and costs feed) • Labour • Environmental issues • Derogation, manure, GHG, • Societal expectations • Animal welfare • Large scale farming

  14. PIG BREEDING AND FATTENING • 5,528 farm with pigs • 3,678 spec. pig farms • 12.2 million pigs (16 million before) • Regional concentration

  15. The intensive livestock complex

  16. Challenges Dutch pig and poultry sector • Currency risk • meatprice in euro andcosts feed in dollar • Increasedcompetitionfrom low labourcostscountries • Environmental issues • Manure, swinefever • Large concentration of production (diseases) • Societalexpectations • Food safety • Animal welfare • Large scalefarming

  18. Challenges Dutch greenhouse sector • Sustainability • Water use • Biological crop protection systems • Increase of production • Environmental issues • Energy use • Societalexpectations • Laborconditions & costs (Robotics) • Food safety
