“Combined, these companies process 98% of the milk in the Netherlands into a wide range of dairy products: from beverages, infant formula and children’s food, cheese and desserts, to ingredients for the broader food industry and the pharmaceutical sector. The NZO aims to reinforce its members’ abilities to produce and market their products. To reach this goal, NZO can be found in The Hague and in Brussels, and it also participates in public dialogue.”
