The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Food NW are hosting a seminar on Agrologistics at the Midland Hotel in Manchester on 9 June.

To remain competitive, food and drink manufacturers face an ever-growing need to maximise efficiencies in the supply chain. This seminar aims to identify common challenges in the logistics sector in the North West and the Netherlands and explore innovative solutions to drive up efficiencies in the supply chain.

This seminar brings together agri-food logistics professionals from both the North West and the Netherlands including Food NW Supply Chain Project Manager Mark Parker and Food NW Chair Stuart Ross.

In the Netherlands agricultural entrepreneurs, logistics companies and knowledge providers such as universities and research institutes, have joined forces to come up with innovative solutions to improve logistics efficiency.
