According this this 80% of the exports are manufactured in the Netherlands: https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/nieuws/2016/23/nederland-tweede-lan...

Things like vertical food farms, huge greenhouses, intensive farming help us become (one of) the biggest

- milk and milk powder producer - apples (apples in South Africa are likely to come from the Netherlands) - tomato’s in Spain come from the Netherlands

A quick Google search says Spanish yearly tomato production is 4x - 5x bigger than Netherlands'. I don't think your example, albeit possible, is correct.
Apples in South Africa are not likely to come from the Netherlands. SA exports about $736m in apples and pears, imports about $284k, not from the Netherlands.
