 Professor Li Weimin, an economist of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) described the performance of Dutch agribusiness. How is it possible, he asked himself, that such a small country with a dense and wealthy population, attained such a large net export value of agricultural and food products? In his book he analyses how Dutch agribusiness realised this prominent role in world agriculture and trade. He looks at Dutch agribusiness from a broad perspective in which the developments in the agricultural sector are treated as part of the Dutch economy. Also the policy developments in the Netherlands and the European Union are taken into account. The objective of the study is to learn lessons which may be useful for other countries.
