Some years ago, the top ten was taken by agrarian sector: Cheese, Milk, Flowers, Eggs, Pigs, Cacao powder, Plants. The only none agro product in the top ten is gas. But there are other products like chemical products (originated from the coalmines (DSM)) and the Oil industry at the Rotterdam harbour (Shell). Other than Dutch people think the Dutch do not export much high tech products. Roentgen-apparatus are the first (at 71).
It has not changed much I think. The Netherlands is more a services oriented country. Banking, transport are examples.
