- angulardragon03 4y agoIn 2020, The Netherlands was the second-largest exporter of food (excluding fish) globally, behind only the United States [1]. I would say its fairly rare for me to go to the supermarket here and buy food that was produced outside of Europe.

- dijit 4y agoNetherlands imports about 20% of it's energy, spiking to 35%: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.IMP.CONS.ZS?locations=NL https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.IMP.CONS.ZS?location... The Netherlands is one of the more energy independent countries in the EU generally speaking. a large percentage of those 20% imports are actually from France.

- ur-whale 4y ago> Exported €3,428 billion worth of stuff in 2021. How much of that is services vs. manufactured goods?
- Symbiote 4y agoYou can find out with a straightforward Google search. Around 18%: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Extra-EU_trade_in_manufactured_goods https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php...

- tanepiper 4y agoGermany, Poland and Spain have huge manufacturing industries - what are you on about?
- zppln 4y agoA lot of things still. A lot of manufacturing jobs moved to eastern Europe rather than Asia in the late 90's and early 00's.
- georgeecollins 4y agoI think that is because you supermarket doesn't sell cars, airplanes, ships or machined tools.

- radicalbyte 4y agoWe build a lot of high tech products, for example cars / trucks / busses as well as tooling. The Netherlands alone - a tiny little country - are world leaders in Yacht production, Food (per m2) and via ASML cutting-edge chip fabs. Germany, our neighbours, are the production power house of Europe. They make basically everything the USA does and a lot of things produced in China. They're more quality focused than China (and to some extent the USA too).
