Dutch companies have shown strong interest in investing in the agricultural sector of Turkmenistan. A special session on opportunities for Dutch companies in the Turkmen agricultural market was held at the Green Tech Amsterdam 2024 international exhibition, where representatives from the Netherlands and Turkmenistan’s business circles, as well as heads of European research and financial institutions, attended.

Turkmenistan’s Ambassador to Belgium, Sapar Palvanov, stated that the country’s economic situation and business climate provide favorable conditions for foreign investors, emphasizing that “the government creates equal rights for Turkmenistan’s private companies and foreign investors” and that “foreign investors in business in Turkmenistan will receive full support from the government.” [4]
Following the presentation, participants expressed a desire to enter the Turkmen agricultural market, and Dutch companies indicated their interest in visiting Turkmenistan to familiarize themselves with market opportunities. As a result, an agricultural mission to Turkmenistan with the participation of interested Dutch companies and institutions is planned to be organized, which will include meetings with the relevant government bodies, Turkmen partners, and private sector representatives.

This growing collaboration between the Netherlands and Turkmenistan in the agricultural sector highlights the mutual interest and potential for investment and partnership in this crucial industry.
