Westland Greenhouse Horticulture Region

Why visit Westland Greenhouse Horticulture Region?

Westland and the wider Greenport West-Holland cluster form one of the world’s leading greenhouse-horticulture and fresh-logistics regions. The destination is particularly valuable for professional groups interested in controlled-environment production, technology, breeding, energy, water, data, packing and international supply chains. A tailored programme may include approved greenhouse businesses, technology suppliers, propagation or breeding organisations, research and training institutions, packing operations, logistics companies and fresh-produce market systems. Topics can include climate control, hydroponics, irrigation and recirculation, biological crop protection, lighting, robotics, labour efficiency, energy transition, traceability, quality standards and post-harvest logistics. Access to commercial sites is by appointment and not guaranteed. This destination is best suited to horticultural farmers, exporters, investors, agronomists, technology companies, universities, government teams and professional associations. Participants should provide a clear organisation profile and learning objectives because hosts often assess whether a visit is technically relevant and commercially appropriate. Programmes can be based around The Hague, Rotterdam, Delft or other nearby centres, depending on the approved visits. Entry requirements, travel insurance and Schengen visa arrangements must be handled in good time. The final itinerary should allow for traffic, site-security procedures and the fact that some businesses do not permit photography or recording.
