The Vegalab management team was widely aware the Netherlands has become an agricultural powerhouse and their farmers have developed many of the most advanced farming techniques deployed worldwide. The team at Van Iperen and their products are well-known across the Netherlands, however; their specialty fertilizers and solutions, have not been widely available to the farming community in the United States. Vegalab looks forward to introducing the American farmers and growers on how to improve their crops with Van Iperen and Vegalab products, while protecting the biome.”
