What are the conclusions of the Croptour seminar?

During the seminar of the Boerenbusiness Crop tour looked back at the past growing season. The participating growers and partners also took a look at the market developments of the current season.

We have another special growing season behind the bow. During the closing seminar of the Crop Tour, the most important issues of the past season were discussed with farmers, partners and interested parties. The dry start and the record temperatures in week 31 were particularly striking this year.

Round table discussion
A number of Crop Tour partners were actively involved in the field during the growing season. In addition, many partners have also been involved in the background, for example by giving advice about their specialism. 

Several of the partners spoke during the seminar. Representatives of Hazera, Agrifirm, Plantcoaching, Timac Agro and ENGIE explained their specialism and view of the growing season during a round table discussion.   
 

Market expectations
The market experts of DCA Group then gave their forecast for the price development for the 2019/2020 season. Kees Maas, the director of DCA Group, shed light on his expectations for the market and Machiel Boons, the coordinator of the Crop Tour, discussed the expectations for the onion market in more detail. Both came to the conclusion that the acreage hinders the possibility of high prices.
