Highlights from Day 1 of the Dutch Horticulture Trade Mission to Ghana! 🇳🇱🇬🇭

Описание: The 7th Agrofood & Plastprintpack Fair in Accra set the perfect stage for the official launch of the Dutch Horticulture Trade Mission 2025.

Day 1 included engaging B2B matchmaking sessions, bringing together Dutch and Ghanaian agribusinesses to explore partnerships, exchange ideas, and strengthen cooperation in Ghana’s growing horticulture sector.
At the Netherlands Pavilion, this year’s Dutch delegation included Agriterra, Bakker Brothers, Celtic Cooling, East-West Seed, Den Ouden Growsolutions, Holland Farming, Holland Greentech, IDH, Koppert, SeedNL, Safisana, Spaak, and Vegtech Netafim, all presenting innovative seed technologies, smart cold-chain solutions, and sustainable production systems.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Dr. Rens Twijnstra, Head of Economic Affairs at the Netherlands Embassy, emphasized the growing Dutch presence in Ghana’s horticulture sector, noting that the Netherlands Pavilion has doubled in size this year: a reflection of the deepening collaboration between Ghana and the Netherlands in horticulture and agribusiness.
Two highly insightful research presentations were also hosted at the Dutch Pavilion:
1. Assessment of Horticultural Seedling Business Opportunities in Ghana – exploring how professional seedling production can boost productivity and create new agribusiness ventures.
2. Access to Finance for the Smallholder Horticulture Sector – addressing farmers’ financing challenges and presenting innovative models and partnerships to bridge the gap.
