This week, our Embassy team had the pleasure of attending Fieldays, the largest agricultural expo in the Southern Hemisphere, right here in New Zealand. It was great to connect with our Dutch businesses and other impressive exhibitors showcasing innovative solutions in sustainable farming, agtech, and food systems. 

We also had valuable conversations with our New Zealand and international partners. A special highlight was taking part in panel discussions on trade, science, and agri-diplomacy—topics that are close to the heart of Dutch-NZ cooperation and essential to building a resilient, sustainable agri-food sector. 

From exploring shared challenges to exchanging ideas, it was inspiring to see how global collaboration is shaping the future of agriculture. Thank you to all our Dutch, EU and Kiwi friends who made Fieldays 2025 such a rewarding experience. We look forward to seeing you again next year.
