The Limburg provincial government has no plans to introduce a ban on mega factory farms in the province. news agency ANP reports on Tuesday.

Last week, the province of Brabant voted in favour of limiting the size of industrial farm buildings to 1.5 hectares, with a few exceptions in some areas.
‘The decision in Brabant was about size. Here, quality is central,’ said provincial executive Ger Driessen. Bigger farms are also economically necessary to improve quality, Driessen said. In addition, he told ANP he did not believe factory farmers would try to move into Limburg because of the ban in Brabant.
Nevertheless, left-wing provincial councillors are planning to introduce a motion to ban mega farms in the province as well, ANP said.
