The Holland Fresh Group has had a combined pavilion at the Asia Fruit Logistica for the tenth year, of eleven editions, and a reception was organised for the Dutch guests at the consulate in Hong Kong for the seventh time. There are worse places to dine than this abode with views of the city.
The current inhabitant, consulate general Annemieke Ruigrok, therefore called herself privileged and she mentioned she was honoured to have her compatriots visit. The same was true for Martin Olde Munnikhof from the Landbouwraad (the Dutch agricultural council). However, he also mentioned the long road that lay ahead for exports to China regarding phytosanitary and market access. “Opening the market is one thing, filling it is another.”
