• Interest Group of 2.000 companies• Companies are farm contractors, companies for land
development (infrastructure) and distribution of manure
• Located for 90% in the rural area, 30.000 employees• Average annual turnover € 1,3 miljoen / company
Key figures Netherlands
• 16,6 million inhabitants• 1,85 million ha agricultural area• 975.000 ha grass-land; 240.000 ha silage maize• 642.000 ha arable land• Of which 194.000 ha cereals• With average yield of 8.900 kg wheat per ha
Key figures live stock production
• 2,4 million cattle, 12,2 million pigs, 85 million poultry• Production 73 million ton manure; 20 million surplus• Destinations for the manure surplus:
15,6 million ton transported to other farms as fertilizer 2,0 million ton to treatment facilities of manure 2,4 million ton for export (Germany, France)
Innovations in manure distribution
• Specialized companies with trailers and tank-cars for long distance transport of manure to cropfarmers
• Storage facilities at the farms of crop farmers• Manure spreading equipment with injection of manure• Tracking and tracing the transports of manure, • Sampling and analysing the manure per transport
Long distance transport of liquid manure
Unloading liquid manure into a container
Injection of liquid manure
• No smell• No emissions of ammonia• No losses of minerals (N)• Precisely farming (fertilizing)• Maximum profit of the minerals in manure• Saving costs for chemical fertilizers
Manure injection in arable land
Loading of manure out of the container
Specialized equipment
Protection the structure of the soil
Spreading out of solid manure

Advantages natural fertilizers
• Organic matter for better soil structure• More biological soil activity• Better quality crops and higher yields• Reduce of chemical fertilizers and costs• For Dutch crop farmers also the price: “for free”
New natural fertilizers for export

Possibilities for cooperation
• New natural fertilizers are avaiable for Hungarian market• Hungary is big country of crop farmers (cereals)• Netherlands is big market for cereals for feed production• Shortage of imported non-genetical manipulated cereals in
the EU• Business of substainable recycling of fertilizers and raw
material feed
Thanks for your attention
