Dutch Greenhouse Delta's frontrunner role adds value on many fronts on a trade mission. By representing the entire eco-system, where the emphasis is not on sales but on long-term cooperation, it gives many partners the confidence to have a discussion at a strategic level about what is needed to produce local-for-local food in a sustainable way. Whether they are companies, investors, governments or knowledge institutions, they are happy to have this conversation with Dutch Greenhouse Delta and its members at a high level. For us as an individual company, we do not have the force to open these doors.

“We as Lumiforte were very much triggered by the offering of an integrated Fork2Farm Solution. Secondly, our global aim is working together with other Dutch & International state-of-the partners in the Horticulture sector by offering multiple solutions for global growers. Also given the focus areas of DGD, namely China, Middle- East, India and US they are forming a mutual and excellent match in our global strategy as growth areas!”

‘’We are a small and rapidly growing company with clear ambitions. We see added value in going into a region shoulder-to-shoulder together, instead of trying to figure it out for ourselves. There’s plenty of overlap between the countries which are on MJ-Tech’s radar and DGD’s focus countries, like North America, Eastern Europe, the Gulf Region and China. The partnership with DGD also offers the perfect opportunity to strengthen our own network in the industry.’’

"DGD can be of great help with tackling challenges in China, especially now as the challenges in China are increasing due to the pandemic. I trust that DGD makes a great effort to create more business opportunities in China for DGD members and Dutch greenhouse technology suppliers in general.”

"We, as Ridder Group, are happy to be member of DGD. We believe it is good to jointly focus on countries where we see growth opportunities, for example Kazakhstan, where we had a successful trade mission which provided many new valuable contacts. Together you achieve more than alone! "

With a strong presence, we were able to play an important role in the horticulture development in China. DGD contributed significantly to this. They played a pivotal role. I’d say DGD is a driving force within the high-tech greenhouse management training, which in my opinion is crucial. DGD is and stays an important partner for us as Embassy.”

In the past year I have worked together with Dutch Greenhouse Delta on two PIB’s, one focused on China and the other one on the Gulf Region. I really enjoy the collaboration with DGD as it is very well organized and very professional. I really hope to continue down this road in the years to come and have a positive impact on the horticulture sector!

We thank DGD for their vision and the power of the members, as their vision is very much in line with the policy of the ministry. We hope to continue our collaboration in the future!”

"Greenhouses and agriculture are key to monetize on Kazakhstan’s economy and becoming less dependent on fossil energy. Both our embassy, and the embassy in Kazakhstan work closely together with DGD towards these goals and we are happy to do so in the future!”
