Future-proof agriculture
in the Netherlands
Banking4Food
The Dutch agriculture and horticulture is a dynamic and successful sector, which has been in full swing for generations. It is a sector that is indispensable for the quality of life and provides a positive contribution to our society. Entrepreneurs are constantly responding to changes in the market, new government policies, technological developments and changing social views. Innovative solutions are the common thread running through the sector. This is one of the reasons why agriculture and horticulture make such an important contribution to the Dutch economy. We support entrepreneurs who face the challenges of our time and are ready to seize the opportunities. We guide them in the transition to a future-proof agriculture and horticulture. It is our ambition to grow our client portfolio in this sector and to make it more sustainable.
Working together on strong food chains
A stable food chain begins with a stronger position for the farmer. He must have access to finance and sales markets, for example. Of course, the farmer must receive a good price for his products. Read here how Rabobank helps to build strong food chains.
