The province, located in the south of Holland, is home to professional criminal organisations operating far beyond Dutch borders.<\/p>\n<p>Brabant\u2019s top economic sectors are: chemistry, agrifood, logistics and high tech. Just like these sectors, the drug industry mainly does export. And just like these sectors the drug industry innovates its growing techniques and its accompanying equipment. It operates with a circle of trusted suppliers and uses the strategic location of Brabant, and the presence of many logistics companies, for the export and transportation of drugs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Brabant-Drugs-Lab.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=8204&amp;action=edit\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11884\" src=\"http:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Brabant-Drugs-Lab.jpg\" alt=\"drug lab netherlands\" width=\"614\" height=\"307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Brabant-Drugs-Lab.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Brabant-Drugs-Lab-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.amsterdamredlightdistricttour.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Brabant-Drugs-Lab-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Discovered drug lab in Brabant.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Numerous international connections are also used to strengthen links with criminal networks elsewhere in Europe, giving way to even better export opportunities for the Brabant XTC pills, weed and raw materials for drugs.
