Exporting spices and herbs to the Netherlands

The Netherlands is one of Europe's main entry points for spices and herbs. Dutch companies import large volumes from countries like India, China, Vietnam and Indonesia. They process, blend, pack and re-export products to buyers in the Netherlands and other European markets. The best opportunities are in curcuma, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom and cumin seeds. To succeed, exporters need safe products, stable quality, reliable supply, clear documents and traceable sourcing.
