Greenports
The role of Greenports in ornamental horticulture
The Dutch Greenports are our country's most important horticultural clusters. They are powerful regions where cultivation, trade, logistics and innovation come together. In these areas, entrepreneurs, governments, knowledge institutions and education work intensively together to find future-oriented solutions for the horticultural and agricultural sector. Consider themes such as sustainability, labor market, use of space, energy supply and circular logistics.
Greenports are the driving force behind the Dutch floriculture chain. Here, flowers, plants, trees and bulbs are grown, processed and distributed to sales markets throughout Europe. Thanks to the concentration of knowledge, production and logistics, it is an ecosystem where issues are tackled that no single party can solve alone. Exactly like, for example, in Greenport Aalsmeer, where entrepreneurs and governments work together on, among other things, sustainable transport chains, return logistics and circular economy.
For Van Dooren Transport, the Greenports are essential: it is where our customers work, where innovations arise and where we contribute daily to an efficient, future-proof and sustainable logistics chain within floriculture.
