turn into money = sell Explanation: I had a look at the discussion at proz you are refering to: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/dutch_to_english/other/564997-verw... The selected answer comes from an online dictionary: http://www.websters-online-dictionary.net/translation/Dutch/... But this doesn't help much. The other answers provide more information. Verwaarding or het verwaarden means turning something (a product) into money. And although this is a specific word used in agriculture, I think there is nothing wrong with saying "to sell". Some context: production of milk is not the same as selling it. Not all the milk that is produced on a farm is necessarily offer to the factory. This depends on the contract between farmer and factory, and of course the production quota. Under this system, it is even possible for a farmer to be fined (!) for offering more milk to the factory than agreed. So the amount of milk offered and accepted and financially compensated is the "verwaarde" quanity of milk. |

59 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1better economic return Explanation: It was me who asked the other question in the glossary and I'm still trying to get to grips with this term (!) It seems to me that it's all about getting added value out of the product (animal carcasses, milk, whatever) in order to get a better economic return off the animals. So you could interpret this as getting a better/increased economic return from milk production/yield. http://pods.dasnr.okstate.edu/docushare/dsweb/Get/Document-2... is about enhancing production |
