Notice exporter != productor. Rotterdam is one of the biggest EU ports for food imports into Europe.
Hrm, that is a pretty misleading article if they're including transshipments. Do you know if they are?
Here you can see a breakdown: https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2019/03/agricultural-export-value-over-90-bn-euros-in-2018 …
And according to this it's "produced and then exported"https://www.government.nl/latest/news/2018/01/19/agricultural-exports-worth-nearly-%E2%82%AC92-billion-in-2017 …
The Rhine River has been the central axis of modernity.
The more misleading part is using value and not volume. The Netherlands is the world leading exporter of cowsperm and flower seeds. Great for the economy but not really "feeding the world"
Unfortunately almost every article these days is either misleading or inaccurate, but no one can argue the agricultural efficiency of the Netherlands. A successful execution that should be admired
The EU economy is tightly integrated and the Netherlands are a very open economy sitting right at its center. That makes all import/export stats misleading. What's locally produced? Some "Dutch" tomato juice made with Spanish and Dutch tomatoes?
I found this article. Around 30% of the quoted figure is, in fact, official re-exports, and 50% unofficial re-exports.https://www.cbs.nl/en-gb/news/2018/03/dutch-agricultural-exports-at-record-high …
"Dutch agricultural exports included €66.2bn in Dutch-manufactured products and €25.5bn in re-exports of previously imported foreign goods. Exports of domestically manufactured goods contributed (...) 40.5 bn euros."
It looks like it's slightly misleading, but not much. Apparently €40.5b of the €91.7b total was locally produced.
Not much? It's more than double.
