NETHERLANDS & SENEGAL - TOGETHER, STRONGER IN AGRIBUSINESS!
Digital trade & invest mission
Digitaal - 14 t/m 16 April 2021
Senegal has been an important agricultural partner of the Netherlands for years. We export onions & potatoes and import mango, vegetables and poultry. The country is of interest to companies and knowledge institutions that are active in sustainable production, supply, processing and trade.
For suppliers of agricultural products, the question is how you can meet your customer's demand throughout the year; with quality products, whenever and wherever they want them. The answer lies in vertical integration: controlling the entire supply chain, from farm to plate.
On the basis of five very recently conducted market studies and seven concrete business cases, you will be given a crystal-clear explanation of where the combination of land, water and labour in Senegal with knowledge and technology from the Netherlands can lead to sustainable, profitable relationships.
Research and (re)discover Senegal, during the digital agro trade and investment mission to Senegal, 14-17 April. An opportunity not to be missed.
