Dutch Companies and knowledge institutes can also use this mission to sign contracts or Memoranda of Understanding in the presence of the Minister or Secretary of State.
Agri-business is one of the main themes defined as promising sector in those countries. Particular attention will be paid to dairy produce, potatoes, seeds, poultry, slaughterhouses and processors.
