Horticulture trade mission to British Columbia, Canada
From the 19th – 24th of January 2025, the horticulture trade mission to British Columbia, Canada took place, organized by the Netherlands Agricultural Network in the USA and Canada, Rotterdam Partners, Innovation Quarter and OostNL.
12 Dutch companies visited British Columbia to explore opportunities for innovation and trade. Highlights of the week were:
- Visiting several growers, a university plus Centre for Agritech Innovation, and the Pacific Agriculture Show & Horticulture Conference.
- An introduction to the province, including a horticulture market scan presentation.
- Hosting a talk-show and organizing a matchmaking event to meet local businesses.
With the help of our partners, such as the BC Greenhouse Growers Association, the BC Ministry of Agriculture and Food plus the BC Ministry of Jobs, Economic Development and Innovation, we were able to give a peek into the business and investment climate of the industry. The mission participants left Canada with a whole bunch of new contacts, business opportunities and knowledge. Many expressed interested in returning to beautiful BC soon.

Bosman van Zaal, Certhon, Crux Agribotics, Delphy, Dutch Lion, Hoogendoorn, Kubo, Red Horticulture, Skytree, Source.ag, Viscon Group, and Vital Fluid!
