Going Dutch : an analysis of the import of live animals from Indonesia by the Netherlands

The aim of this study was to gain insights into the import-export relationships between Indonesia and the Netherlands by studying the trade in live animals from 2003 to 2013. The true dynamics of the trade between both countries are relatively poorly understood. This report allows a better understanding of the role of the Netherlands as an importing country, and Indonesia as an exporter of live animal species by providing an overview of trade dynamics. The results can be used to guide future policy and regulatory interventions and highlight issues of concern.
