The Dutch had dealings with mercantilism in two ways: they clashed with the British over their mercantilist policies, with the result of four Dutch-Anglo wars over the subject in the 17th and 18th century.

The other way was in their treatment of their East India colonies (today's Indonesia) in the 19th century. Production of foodstuffs and goods there was then made totally subject to Dutch needs and interests, and these goods could only be sold to Duth buyers. Holland then had the exclusive right to sell those goods at real market value worldwide.
