Hypothesis:

•  Op#mizing  on  the  alliance,  logis#cs,  storage  and  processing  to  significantly  progress  in  compe##veness  and  resilience  in  the  grain  trade.  

 

Research question: • How can The Netherlands and its allies ensure food security by

investing in grain storage & processing clusters?

• How can investments in transport and logistics management

provide optimization of transportation costs in grain trade?

Global   soy   produc#on  has  increased  by  60%  in  the  last  20  years.  

China   &   the   European  Union   are   the   largest  importers  of  soy.  

Economic  &  Demographic  growth  is  resul#ng  in  increased   meat   consump#on,   hence   large  demand  for  grain  based  agrofeed.
