In 2021 , Dutch nursery veggie raiser earned , on average , € 315,000 . That is about the same as in 2020 . That mean they are still the " big earners " among glasshouse businesses . Though , cut efflorescence growers come very close this year . With a € 140,000 increase in income , they earned € 312,000 , on average . That is according to an farming income estimation . It is from the Central Bureau of Statistics and Wageningen Economic Research .
The average glasshouse horticultural business is thought to have earned more than € 290,000 per volunteer annual working unit . That is over € 70,000 more than in 2020 , and the average 2015 - 2020 income . Income rose because revenues climbed more ( 21 % ) than cost ( 18 % ) . This outgrowth is due to increases in cosmetic gardening . Income in greenhouse veg cultivation stabilized in 2021 .

The estimated full revenue for an mediocre greenhouse veggie business concern in the Netherlands rose by more than 18 % in 2021 to almost € 3.6 million . This growth is substantive compared to previous years . tax revenue have not increased this much in the last ten years . The boost is due to an step-up in the size of an intermediate farm . Tomato prices also greatly improved . And , on average , selling electricity also resulted in higher revenues .
Tomato farms made moreTomato refinement had a fair to secure year . Average prices express retrieval compare to 2020 . They were even mellow than in 2019 . Out - of - home and hospitality industriousness sales television channel fill up during the global pandemic . Marketing channels had a less gist than a year earlier , increase need .
Tomato land area fell in 2021 in the Netherland and Spain , a major rival . The area again shift further towards vine tomato at the disbursal of round loose tomatoes . Also , better prices were realise in specially the summertime ( July - September ) . That is when output is gamy . In 2019 . there were several heat waves during that time .
Production was , however , under pressure this year . That was due to less sunshine and the Tomato brown rugose fruit virus ( ToBRFV ) . This computer virus is blight both Dutch and overseas growers . utmost hygienics measures are still in effect . And growers are seek to keep the computer virus at bay . Fully tolerant varieties are not yet usable .
In general , these 2021 estimation consider a volume descent and a strong average toll rise of 25 % . This is partially a fudge factor to 2020 , when prices fall by 12 % on average . Tomato monetary value chromosomal mutation and proceeds are important for average nursery vegetable companies . That is because more than 32 % of their land area ( 2021 ) consisted of tomatoes . So , this product is vital to the average party .
bell shape pepper fruit about the same for all intermediate farmsDutch campana pepper growers fared somewhat worse in 2021 than in 2020 . crimson block peppers did quite well . But the prices for other vividness were low-down than a year earlier . Orange Vanessa Bell peppers had a peculiarly unmanageable time . A larger Dutch production area pressured prices .
That was , in part , because there were fewer exportation to the US and Japan . It was hard to progress to those land . That was because of the limited airplane mental ability and colligate high transport costs . Competition in those market place was furious too .
Production also fluctuated due to volatile weather condition conditions . It was , once again , quite thought-provoking for raiser , cultivation method - wise . This erratic supply chair to unstable pricing . The Dutch season started well . However , on correspondence , this estimate is based on roughly the same bell pepper yield for the average farm .
That mean a limited decrease per square meter . It also the different developments of the various colors into account . Of this class ’s entire greenhouse veggie domain , 28 % consists of doorbell peppers . Therefore , these changes in yields are crucial for an mediocre bell pepper farm .
Average farm ’s Cucumis sativus yield about the same , fewer eggplantsAccording to this agricultural census , cucumber acreage in the Netherlands get up sharply in 2021 . That was partially due to growers trade from tomatoes . Despite this seven percent increment , prices remained fairly grade ( -5 % ) with slenderly higher production . The weighting of cucumber in the whole line of work changed . That intend cuke yield were fairly similar to last yr .
Per square metre yields also stick much unchanged . cucumber make up about 11 % of the greenhouse vegetable area . Therefore , a change in cucumber value is somewhat less crucial for an mean greenhouse veg company . Eggplant prices fell . Other crops did better , principally due to less competition from open battlefield crops .
increase receipts from trade electricityDutch glasshouse veg farms earned good money from sell electrical energy too . These sales event are strongly related to the cost side of muscularity ( see cost of greenhouse vegetables ) . Compared to ornamental horticulture companies , the average greenhouse vegetable farm is larger . It also has less acreage under lights . So , in vegetable refinement , combined heat and power ( CHP ) plant are used significantly more to produce electricity for sale .
This year ’s cogeneration plant ' spark spread was upright . Despite this , it is estimated that almost the same bulk of electrical energy was repay to the grid as in 2020 . That is due , in part , to the increased petrol price in 2021 ’s third and fourth quarters . That , in good turn , led to the more economical use of energy . Those growers using lights also sold less volume back . Since purchased electricity is tax , they used more of the produce powerfulness themselves .
The intermediate income from sell energy should , however , increase importantly in 2021 . That is because of the increase sell prices . How much depends highly on what bump in the Netherlands in November and December . This yr ’s market is very fickle , so predicting this seems almost impossible . Nearly double the income from the sale of electricity ( approximately +80 % ) has been factor out in .
Such an addition means that electricity marketing revenues could be good for 11 - 12 % of an average greenhouse company ’s total income . Last year that was about seven percent . Bear in mind , not every greenhouse veggie farm has a CHP organization .
Other revenuesDutch greenhouse vegetable troupe make money in other style too . These include activities done for third parties . That could be class and packaging , selling ware , and renting out cold warehousing readiness . In 2021 these revenues should increase by roughly seven percent .
