No subsidy for discouraging use of Dutch tomato
This fall, questions were asked in the Dutch Parliament when people found out that Milieu Centraal (an environmental organisation), which receives government subsidy, discouraged the use of greenhouse tomatoes from the Netherlands, and advised consumers to buy Spanish or Moroccan produce instead.
Minister Carola Schouten answered last Friday. She doesn t deny the fact, but points out that it was due to data that was no longer accurate . The calendar Milieu Centraal published with the advice has since been taken offline, Minister Schouten ensured. The fruit and vegetable calendar has been offline since April 2020. It s very time consuming to keep the environmental score of all the produce for every month up to date, can be read at the consumer advising organisation.
