Flevoland, a natural province for export
Since the creation of Flevoland, export has had a vital role in the provincial economy. Examples include the world-renowned yield from arable farming on the polder, European fishing capital Urk and the growing high-tech sector focused in metro Amsterdam. Products from Flevoland can be found in all corners of the world and with the completion of the multimodal Flevokust harbor, imports and exports of goods to and from major sea ports has been made easier than ever.
