The Dutch have a long history in farmer-led development of the dairy sector and the export of their dairy development expertise and dairy products. It therefore is more than opportune to take a breath and look into the past, the present and the future for a strong and realistic joint Dutch value proposition for and in upcoming economies.
This expert meeting will provide a unique opportunity to share the latest developments and experiences of the Dutch approach and to exchange your thoughts with other professionals in our network.
