Table explanation
This table contains information about materials that enter or leave the Dutch economy through import, export and extraction. A distinction is made between raw products (resources), semi-manufactured products and finished products. Country or region of origin and destination is also included. Materials are recorded in kilos (physically). More figures on economy wide material flows can be found in table 'Extraction, import and export of materials by type; national accounts'. See section 3.
This table is part of the environmental accounts. Data of the environmental accounts are compiled according to concepts and definitions of the national accounts, which makes it possible to quantify the environmental effects of the economic activities for the Netherlands in a consistent manner. As a result, the figures may differ from data presented elsewhere on the website.

Description topics
- Extraction by type of material
- Materials that are extracted from the environment and used by residents as input for the production process. Extraction comprises not only the mining and quarrying of minerals but also harvest of agricultural goods and the catch of non-cultivated fish.
- Total extraction
- Materials that are extracted from the environment and used by residents as input for the production process. Extraction comprises not only the mining and quarrying of minerals but also harvest of agricultural goods and the catch of non-cultivated fish.
- Biomass
- Organic matter.
- Non-metallic minerals
- Inorganic minerals excluding metals and products thereof.
- Fossil energy carriers
- Oil, gas and coal are fossil fuels. They are also primary energy carriers because they are extracted from nature.
