VegetablesWA, part of AusVeg from Western Australia, has spent two weeks touring Denmark and the Netherlands with a group of 12 vegetable and fruit tree farmers.
Most farmers in Western Australia still largely grow their produce in open fields, but rising temperatures and drier conditions are now forcing them to consider investing in technology to optimize growing conditions. The group also sought inspiration from growers in Denmark and the Netherlands on a complete package of business management and supply chain operations.
HollandDoor was invited to organize a tailored one-day study tour programme, which took place on 30 June 2025. The packed schedule began with a tour of FloraHolland Aalsmeer, before moving on to Van Der Starre in Boskoop, where discussions focused on retail sales concepts. After a light lunch the group visited Dalipa Sweet Pepper and Denso/Certhon to see cutting-edge greenhouse and indoor farming technology first-hand. The day concluded at the World Horti Center with an exploration of global horticulture trends.
It was a whirlwind day with five different company visits and lively discussions, both during the visits and on the road, centred around the similarities and differences between Australia and the Netherlands.
