Answers
Answer:
The best land is found in reclaimed polders. Principal crops and output in 2002 (in millions of kg) were sugar beets, 6,250; potatoes, 7,363; wheat, 1,057; barley, 315; rye, 17; and triticale, 24. The Netherlands is famous for its bulbs grown for export, principally tulip, hyacinth, daffodil, narcissus, and crocus.
These farms made use of 1.91 million hectares (ha) of utilised agricultural area, (2 % less than in 2005), which makes the average size of a holding in the Netherlands 25 ha (compared with 24 ha in 2005).
The tiny Netherlands has become an agricultural powerhouse—the second largest global exporter of food by dollar value after the U.S.—with only a fraction of the land available to other countries. ... The Netherlands enjoys high yields in multiple staple crops in addition to tomatoes.
