The King gives a speech at the conference food NOS
Netherlands can help the Japanese agriculture to refresh and rejuvenate. That said King Willem-Alexander morning in Tokyo, where he opened a food conference. In the wake of his state visit to the country is also a large delegation of companies from the agricultural and horticultural sector traveled to see if they can do business in Japan.
A number of companies therefore went to visit a greenhouse where peppers are grown. The greenhouse is largely put down by Dutch companies. Arend Sosef from Honselerdijk did was arrange for the water and electrical installation and operation of the Priva Lier took care of the climate system. The seeds of the peppers are Dutch.
Japanese agriculture is outdated. The average age of Japanese farmers is 67, successors are not there. The average facile size of a farm is only 0.2 hectares while a typical Dutch horticulturist 3 acres of greenhouses has listed.
The greenhouse Richfield Miho is 2 hectares, Japanese terms large, but packing the peppers are manually. Charlotte Langerak of Viscon Group from 's Gravendeel there in amazement to watch. Her company provides automation for the packaging of these products. But the small scale of the Japanese companies still ensures that export to Japan is difficult. "We deliver to companies that have several acres and are almost here," she says.
On the third day of the state visit of King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima to Japan, agriculture facile is central. Japan wants to reform the agricultural sector and will therefore deploy Dutch knowledge and skills. It's the last day of the state visit.
Aad van den Berg GreenQ from Bleiswijk feels a paprika and concludes that they hang in there good. His company provides knowledge to improve cultivation. Last year he teamed up with a Japanese partner. "But doing business with the Japanese is difficult," he says. "Especially the cultural differences are large."
Also Jan Willem Breukink Incotec from Enkhuizen has that experience. They are already 18 years in Japan working in the field of plant breeding. He acknowledges that the Japanese agriculture needs to be renewed and understand the words of the king that the Netherlands can help. But the Japanese government should cooperate. facile Small farms are still subsidized and until that system continues, little will change, he fears and keep the businesses too small to apply the much needed innovations.
