  2. Wow, surprised that NL is so high given how tiny it is. Is it mostly like cheese + flowers? Something else?

  3. And yet free school lunches is controversial in the only country in the world that provides 0 federally mandated paid parental leave.

  4. gotta love the netherlands, they have some of the most high tech cutting edge companies in the world like ASML, but also 10% of their economy is ag exports…

  5. Belgium is only 33.000 km2 and has only 11 mo inhabitants (smaller than some world cities). 1/3 of Belgium are the Ardennes (hilly forests). Still it’s nearly top ten of world wide food exporters in absolute numbers.

  6. Wow the “as % of gdp” is interesting. Is the US not charging enough or is it mostly subsidized aid going out?
