Value of Exports (US Dollars): $92.85 Billion

We are continuing our list of countries with the highest agricultural exports in the world with the Netherlands that is the sixth-smallest country within the European Union, but it’s the EU’s largest food exporter and the world’s second-largest. Moreover, it relies heavily on agriculture, which represents over 80% of its GDP. The country managed to achieve this due to several factors. First, the country has a lot of flat land and fertile soil and a moderate climate, which creates good farming conditions. In addition, the country has invested a lot of capital in improving farming technology, with many farms using robots and automated processes at all stages, from planting to picking food to processing. The Netherlands is also home to the world’s leading university for agricultural education and it invests in developing innovative technology to improve crop yields. Moreover, the Netherlands also has the port of Rotterdam, which is a major hub and a lot of agricultural products that come from the Netherlands are actually re-exported (around $22 billion).
