Netherlands: New Minister of Agriculture Named in the Netherlands

On October 3, 2022, the Dutch government announced Mr. Piet Adema has been named the new Dutch Minister of Agriculture, Nature, and Food Quality. Mr. Adema replaces Henk Staghouwer who resigned in September after he informed the Dutch Cabinet and Parliament about his Ministry’s delay in providing a plan for the future outlook of the Dutch agricultural sector and after he failed to obtain Brussels’ permission to continue to exceed caps on how much manure farmers can apply to their fields. Since Mr. Staghouwer’s resignation, Carola Schouten (currently the third Deputy Prime Minister of the Netherlands and the Minister for Poverty Policy, Participation, and Pensions, and the former Minster of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality) had been acting as interim Minister (until a permanent replacement was identified).
