export minus import is export , or are they not skilled enough there.

In order to obtain better sales opportunities for the Dutch product in supermarkets, the EU residue standards drawn up by esfa must be established as the normal residue standard.

tame; If there is no export, you certainly cannot import. An economy without exports is nothing and nothing is poverty for a population. Due to these high export figures, a community can also buy that electric car and TV from that foreigner, the more people here eat vegetarian, the more meat can be exported, which means economic growth again. If natural gas is no longer allowed to be used, that money will have to come from somewhere else.

Export minus import is a trade surplus for the Netherlands.

Henry ; profit is what is needed to run an economy.

Record agricultural export, ok, but what does this mean for the average Dutch person, or for the Netherlands, for example?

Apart from some primary producers, farmers, who do have employment, but earn very little from it, the rest of the necessary employment in the chains is mainly filled by cheap Eastern European workers, who transfer their earnings to their home countries.

And the profits for the multinationals that the export generates mainly disappears, after ignoring the Dutch treasury through "tax optimisation", into the pockets of a few major shareholders who also own their assets, either abroad, or through nice agreements with the tax authorities, keep reasonably net.

It is therefore easy to understand that "the Dutchman" is tired of a sector that does leave behind the burdens, odor nuisance, pathogenic bacteria, particulate matter, water pollution, residues, etc. of both farmers and the processing industries, but steals the "profits" itself.

Yes, I agree, but all those greens and activists are now pretending that all exports are produced here. People are misinformed....

That is not the case at all, meat is largely imported for the sake of clarity. we hardly produce any meat that foreign countries want. Only veal and pork is in demand abroad and part of it comes from across the border.
So actually you should see most of it as trading and there is nothing wrong with trading that is great for a trade surplus, so profit.

And we desperately need that profit to pay the billions of subsidies and allowances for 8 million people and institutions. Such as Natuurmonumenten, Environmental Defense and everything that receives a structural subsidy every year!!!

No hassle when other Europeans do the work because people like you would rather hold out and not deliver any production.

Piet you are right, the biggest screamers do the least. You don't hear a good entrepreneur, he is at work.
