It's official; the Netherlands no longer prioritises maintaining its position as one of the world’s biggest agri-food exporters.

“Export percentages are not a goal for us. Our goal is emission reduction and to restore nature,” said Minister for Nature and Nitrogen Policy Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink.
