The Netherlands is smaller than West Bengal.
Yet it’s the world’s second-largest agricultural exporter.
How?
By turning agriculture into a science - powered by innovation, technology and precision farming.
Now imagine what happens when Dutch agri-tech meets India’s scale, talent and ambition.
Across 25 Centres of Excellence, India and the Netherlands are working together to grow more with less:
🚜 smarter farming
💧 efficient water use
🌾 higher yields
📦 less food waste
👩‍🌾 and training the next generation of farmers
From Punjab to Maharashtra, Karnataka to Gujarat - this partnership is helping shape the future of sustainable agriculture.
Big challenges need smart solutions.
And this India–Netherlands collaboration is delivering both!

A historic weekend is coming up! 🇳🇱🇮🇳 We are honoured to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Netherlands for an official visit.

From an audience with Their Majesties King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima at Paleis Huis ten Bosch to high-level talks at the Catshuis with Prime Minister Jetten and key stakeholders across industries. This visit celebrates the growing bond between our nations.🤝

More updates will follow soon.

What if we told you that India’s biggest gateway to Europe is… the Netherlands?
From cutting-edge pharma💊 to high-tech electronics💻 and energy products⚡️, Indian innovation reaches millions across Europe through Dutch ports and logistics hubs.
The numbers tell the story:
₹2.37 lakh crore (€25.7 billion) in bilateral trade which is growing fast.
But this partnership is about more than trade. It’s about connecting ideas, talent, technology and sustainable growth between two innovation-driven nations.
And we’re only getting started.
Stay tuned!

Great plans having been simmering like butter chicken… The Netherlands and India have been working together more closely than ever, and something - or should we someone- Important will soon reach the Hague 🛬

Happy Europe Day to you all. Today marks the anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, a moment that fundamentally shifted the course of history by prioritising cooperation over conflict.

It is a day to look at the European project for what it is: a bold, ongoing project in “unity in diversity.” The principles of peace and solidarity that 9 May represents remain as relevant as ever.

And of course we brought stroopwafels and poffertjes!

Today, 5 May, the Netherlands celebrates Liberation Day. It is a moment to reflect on the end of the Second World War in 1945 and the restoration of the freedoms we hold dear today.
The significance of this date remains unchanged. Freedom is a fundamental value that requires constant reflection and responsibility.

Today we honour the history of our liberation and the democratic principles that continue to guide the Netherlands and our international partnerships.
Liberation Day serves as a reminder that peace and liberty are maintained through the choices we make every day.

Kochi, we are here!🇳🇱⚓️

After crossing thousands of miles the His Netherlands Majesty’s Ship (HNLMS) De Ruyter has arrived to the vibrant naval city of India-Kochi. This is our first port call and is part of Pacific Archer 2026 to promote freedom of navigation and keep strategic shipping route secure, the Netherlands aims to strengthen diplomatic, security and economic ties.

In coming days we are looking forward to meet our Indian Navy colleagues, exchange knowledge and showing that India is one of the important partners in the region as we have shared interests for a safe and secure Indo-Pacific region.

Geachte leden van de Nederlandse gemeenschap,

Wij willen u laten weten dat de jaarlijkse herdenkingsdag op 4 mei dit jaar niet in New Delhi, maar in Kochi zal plaatsvinden. De reden hiervoor is dat een Nederlands marineschip op die datum Kochi zal aandoen, en in dat kader leek het passend om de herdenking ook daar te houden.

Dear members of the Dutch community,

We would like to inform you that the annual Remembrance Day on May 4th will not take place in New Delhi this year, but in Kochi. The reason for this is that a Dutch naval ship will call at Kochi on that date, and in that context, it seemed appropriate to hold the commemoration there as well.

Netherlands Ambassador to India, Nepal & Bhutan

We extend our best wishes to His Majesty King Willem-Alexander on his birthday! In Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, we celebrated a vibrant King’s Day with (sometimes even more than) a dash of orange. We thank all our friends and the Dutch community who joined us in the celebrations! 🇳🇱🧡 👑
