Editing Gelderland (section)

== Economy and transport ==

Gelderland has a mixed economy shaped by agriculture, manufacturing, logistics, services, education, and regional administration. The river areas support agriculture, fruit cultivation, and distribution activity. The Veluwe and surrounding towns include tourism, nature management, paper and light industry, transport services, and military-linked land use. The Arnhem–Nijmegen area contains public administration, education, health services, commercial activity, and transport links.

Vriendendam forms one of the province’s more specific industrial centres in documented modern events. Its economy is connected to manufacturing, automotive production, family-linked businesses, courier services, and local industry. [[Schroeter Romeo]], founded in Vriendendam in 1950, became one of the city’s main industrial employers and contributed to the early consolidation of the settlement.

[[Vriendenpost]] was founded in Vriendendam in 2016 by [[Leendert Noord]]. The company developed courier and postal routes between Vriendendam, [[Rotterdam]], Arnhem, Ede, Apeldoorn, and other Dutch cities. This made Gelderland one of the company’s early operating areas and connected the province to a wider network of document transport, parcel delivery, depot work, and business collections.
