A beautiful natural spring sun shining on the deck of an endless greenhouse - How Dutch do you want it ? Well , Dutch … Dutch greenhouse farming has been flourishing for years thanks to Chinese glass . The suppliers have independently started export their Cartesian product to Dutch growers over the preceding decade . By now , hundreds of hectare of glasshouse are covered with production from China . For Planti , one of the big producers , the moment has come , partly due to the Corona crisis , to establish a Dutch branch . Tobias de Zwart is the company ’s new Dutch representative .
Sometimes chances are slim . If Tobias had n’t work in a clothing depot , he might not have endure into Michael Lee , laminitis of Planti . If he had n’t gone on an substitution to China during his studies , he might not have started verbalise to him . And if Corona had n’t happen , get a Chinese - verbalize , Dutch representative might not have been Planti ’s top precedency . Now , however , it all come together , and since this year Tobias has been working for the Chinese glass and lighting producer .
" I always found the agribusiness sector very interesting as it is one of the prominent sectors in the Netherlands , " Tobias explains . " But how big on the dot , I did n’t quite fuck beforehand . And also not how big Planti is in this sector . Of the Chinese ice producers in the Netherlands , we are the largest . "
The glass sector is an external entity and Taiwanese provider have been on the rise for years . China has the raw materials available and the production technique that make them peculiarly competitive in horticulture . Diffuse field glass in particular is in high demand worldwide - something that has only increase since Cultilene decided to stop produce it last year . With insistency from the solar panel market , the pressure level on ice producers has further increased - reasons why the price of glass resurrect considerably last class .
" Because of the European anti - dumping measures , we at Planti also had to make out with sizable import tariffs before , " Tobias explains . Now , however , a Modern character of spyglass has been developed that is not capable to the import duty . " He excuse that the field glass is made with more iron , but still achieves the desire clarity of low - iron looking glass , as well as the AR coating . " This allows us to trim back the toll for grower . "
Due to the circumstances Tobias has not yet been able-bodied to see precisely what the production unconscious process expect like . The corona measures are still hold too much of a wrench in the works . In recent months he has therefore primarily visited the company ’s Dutch client . " Of naturally I would like to go there in the future and cope with the whole squad . To start a new occupation this style is quite especial - but at the same meter I am glad to be of overhaul to Planti and to be able to influence in such an interesting sphere . "
