Agricultural and horticultural products market in Netherlands: size, suppliers and public contracts

Market size and key facts

In 2025, public buyers in Netherlands awarded 23 supply contracts for agricultural and horticultural products through award notices on TED; the 9 of them that state a value (39.1%) add up to €11 million, a floor rather than the full contract value. Netherlands imported €12.5 billion of goods in the customs headings matched to agricultural and horticultural products in 2025 (Eurostat Comext, HS 1801, 1201, 0602, 0603, 2401 and 8 more headings; all buyers, not only public ones), up 50.8% from 2023.

  • Since November 2023, 43 companies have won 71 public supply contracts for agricultural and horticultural products in Netherlands, in 50 award notices from 43 public buyers.
  • 100% of these awards went to companies registered in Netherlands.
  • The five companies that win most often hold 35.2% of all awards.
  • 17.4% of the awards whose notice states the number of tenders received a single bid.

In proportion

All public purchasing in Netherlands — general government spending on goods, services and investment, the measure the OECD and the European Commission use for public procurement — came to €242 billion in 2025, 20.7% of GDP (Eurostat). Award notices on TED cover only the contracts above the EU thresholds, so they show who wins, not the whole of that spending.
