dc.description.abstractWith regard to the Dutch market, the Betuwe is the strongest player. Because of the great soils. What also improves the position of the Betuwe in the fruit sector is the presence of Fruitpact. This organization ensures that the fruit sector in the Betuwe stays relevant. With regard to the European market, the farmers mentioned some interesting things. First of all, the collapsing fruit farming sector in Italy. But also the big role that Poland plays. Both for the production of both apples and pears, but also in supplying employees for the farmers in the Betuwe. The European economy, also provides opportunities for the farmers, there is a larger labour market, which fills the gap of a lack of Dutch employees. The fruit farmers from the Neder-Betuwe play a smaller role in the global economy. This has mainly to do with the great connection to the European market. The farmers mentioned that there is a connection with China and Russia on the global fruit market. Russia has been an important market in the past, but due to boycotts this market disappeared. The case with China is that the export is complex and not appealing for the farmers.
