The Netherlands has supported the #potato industry in Ukraine for many years — from improving growing technology, storage, and institutional capacity building to realizing the export potential. Currently, the question of drafting a strategy for the development of the potato industry is relevant, taking into account the challenges caused by the war, the loss of infrastructure, and the logistics complications. This was said by Carolien Spaans Agricultural Counsellor of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Ukraine during the All-Ukrainian Potato Day. According to Carolien Spaans, the experience of the Netherlands can be useful for representatives of the Ukrainian sector to determine priorities and establish cooperation with international organizations.

Nutreco has recently completed construction on the world’s first dedicated food-grade powder production facility for cell feed in Boxmeer, The Netherlands, and brought it up to commercial operation. This facility produces the first cell feed product developed specifically for the cell-cultured meat industry. According to Susanne Wiegel, Head of the Alternative Protein Program, “The cell-cultured protein industry is in its development stage, and one of its biggest challenges is how to feed protein cells cost-efficiently, sustainably, and at scale. We see the potential for this industry to be one solution to the challenge of feeding the rising global population and are committed to helping the industry grow by becoming a supplier and a solutions provider.” Optimizing the cost and components of cell feed is widely considered a key challenge for the nascent cultivated meat industry to reach commercialization. Last year, Nutreco and Mosa Meat signed an agreement to collaborate on creating a cell feed supply chain. Their scientists confirmed that a basal media formulated with food-grade ingredients instead of pharma-grade ones performs equally well at a lower cost – a critical step to further developing the cellular agriculture supply chain. Wiegel outlined how Nutreco's R&D expertise can support this innovation: “We know how to mix and process vitamins, amino acids, trace elements, carbohydrates, and other ingredients into feed formulations at large volumes safely and sustainably. We believe that as the cultivated protein industry scales, the science of feeding animals is vital to feeding cells sustainably. With our expertise, we can ensure cells get the proper feed for their development.” To learn more about this innovation, read the press release on the Nutreco's website: https://lnkd.in/gN-qmC46

The Dutch #milk supply shows a growing lag in June compared to 2023, compared to the previous months. This is remarkable, considering that the Dutch summer so far has been favorable for milk production. Nevertheless, the explanation can be found in the significantly higher slaughter numbers in the first half of this year.

[PotatoPro] Shortages in the Dutch Seed Potato Market: HZPC's Strategic Response Gerard Backx, CEO of the Royal HZPC Group, says there is an imbalance in the Dutch seed potato market. He expects less volume of these potatoes to be available this season. Although there is a good tuber count in many areas, and the harvest should be successful, the wet summer significantly damaged some areas. #potato #potatopro #potatonews #potatoindustryevents #potatosupplychain #frenchfry #potatoequipments #potatochips #potatosnacks #potatofarming https://lnkd.in/eEUHDFct
