Private equity in the horticulture sector


In recent years, private equity firms have become interested and active with investments in the greenhouse horticultural sector. Why is that the case? Are they interested in the good returns of its individual firms, opportunities for fast growth, scalability and/or consolidation, or the sector’s sustainable character? In this research project we study the impact of private equity investments on the Dutch horticultural sector, with a special focus on the innovativeness, growth/scaling up, and geographical expansion/internationalization of firms in it.
