Aganga believes that the Netherlands has a well developed food processing industry and the largest producers and exporters of good. “This, combined with the availability of raw materials and the large market in Nigeria, will give rise to a successful partnership on the establishment of an industrial zone on food processing in Nigeria,” Aganga said. He also emphasized that the two countries have to work in partnership to address the problems in trading. Ploumen announced that the Netherlands is planning to generate a growth fund worth €700 million to assist in SME investments in growth areas.
