The Netherlands has a record number of goats this year. Not only has the number of goats per farm increased, the number of goat farms has also increased. Goat farms are no longer allowed to expand in the provinces of Gelderland and North Brabant. New establishment is also prohibited.
Agricultural economist Cor Pierik of Statistics Netherlands explains how many goats can be found in this and other provinces and how this sector has developed in recent years.
