Agricultural Export Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how Dutch farms can access market intelligence and trade mission support to expand their reach into international markets.
This scheme helps farms in the Netherlands expand their reach by providing the specific information and connections needed to sell agricultural products to international markets.
Who it's for
This program is designed specifically for farms located in the Netherlands that are actively exporting their products to buyers outside of the country. If your farming operation focuses on selling goods to international destinations, you may qualify for this support.
What you get
Participants receive specialized market intelligence to help them understand foreign demand and consumer trends. Additionally, the scheme provides support for attending trade missions, which are organized trips that allow you to connect directly with new buyers and expand your business network in different regions.
What it costs you
To access these resources and participate in the programs, you will be required to complete a registration process in various trade databases. This ensures your business information is correctly recorded for international commerce.
The catch to know
A significant challenge for exporters is that export rules can change very rapidly, especially in the context of post-Brexit regulations. You must stay highly informed about changing trade laws to ensure your goods are not delayed or blocked at the border.
How to apply
- Verify that your farming business is currently engaged in exporting goods.
- Prepare your business documentation to complete the required registration in trade databases.
- Contact the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) to ask about available market intelligence or upcoming trade mission opportunities.
- Monitor official updates to ensure you are compliant with the latest international trade rules.
