Agri-and Horticulture
In the past 20 years, economic development in China has largely focused on the industrial and service sectors. While the overall Chinese economy has experienced significant growth, the agricultural sector has lagged behind. However, China is now rapidly advancing its agricultural industry, driven in part by food safety scandals and the challenges posed by rapid urbanization, which have made it increasingly difficult for rural areas to supply cities with safe and healthy food.
Chinese policymakers have made it a priority to modernize the agriculture and horticulture sectors. Key areas of focus include innovation (particularly through the use of IT), increasing rural incomes, and promoting sustainable production. The government is heavily investing in these efforts, primarily through subsidies for innovative agri-horticulture projects.
DSBP Consultants has built extensive experience in the agri-horti sector. We connect Dutch horticultural technologies and companies with Chinese investors, governments, and organizations by organizing business visits, facilitating introductions and matchmaking, providing in-depth consultancy services (market reports, M&A), and managing consortia.
