Dutch agrifood biotech could add €17 billion in annual turnover by 2040, Invest-NL says
  • Invest-NL's October 30, 2026, report projects around €17 billion in additional annual Dutch agrifood biotech revenue by 2040 with faster commercialization.
  • Fermentation-based food ingredients could generate around €8 billion annually with policy changes, versus approximately €2 billion without them.
  • European authorization for biological crop protection takes eight to ten years, prompting companies to launch first in Brazil and the US.
  • New food ingredients face European authorization delays of one to three years versus the US, while first factories lack suitable financing.
  • Factories cost tens or hundreds of millions of euros; public capital could share initial investment risks to attract private financing.
