HollandDoor is celebrating its 10th anniversary!
What started 10 years ago as a start-up founded by three enthusiastic agro-food experts, has now grown into a solid capacity builder, study tour provider and business matchmaker for many agricultural organizations all over the world.
In this newsletter, we look back on those first ten years, but also to the future.
The HollandDoor story started 10 years ago
Ten years ago, it was already well-known that there was a growing demand for affordable, healthy, sustainably grown agricultural products. Many public and private organizations were looking for expertise in the Netherlands that could help them optimize efficiency in sustainable food production and food chains.
Our founders’ background in the Dutch agricultural sector enabled them to launch a cooperative to assist international organizations working in agro-business with (practical) knowledge, expertise, and network building. Starting with experts in horticulture, our team grew over the years, as did our expertise and network in animal husbandry and arable farming. We are happy and proud to announce the addition of a new member to our team and sector in this newsletter: Marian Peters specializes in insects as a source for nutrition in animal feed and human consumption.
Over the years, we have worked on more than 400 projects in more than 45 countries, for public and private clients alike. Our projects were not only carried out by our own team members but also in collaboration with experts and companies in our network.
We would like to use this newsletter to thank all our partners who put their trust and confidence in us.
On behalf of our team, I wish everyone a prosperous 2023 and look forward to the next 10 years.
