Tjibbe Joustra has been named as the new president of the Dutch Product Board for Horticulture, Productschap Tuinbouw, effective from 1 January 2009.
The announcement follows the recent departure of the board's former president Dirk Duijzer, who joined Rabobank at the beginning of March.
Mr Joustra has previously worked as Secretary General at the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality and, since 2004, as the country's National Anti-terrorism Coordinator.
