A member of the Dutch East India Company could have been any foreigner with the Dutch. And a member of the East India Company of England should have been only English and not foreign.

Both companies: East India, England and the Netherlands, act as shipbuilders. Their trade colonial expansion further facilitated the development of navies in both countries.

The Dutch East India Company imported nutmeg, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, Ceylon tea, coffee and more from the East. The East India Company of England, unlike the Dutch, imported Maud fabrics to the East and produced: silk, cotton, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, indigo, nutmeg, opium, which were sold at exorbitant prices in Europe.

The annual profit of the Dutch East India Company was 50 million guilders. England's gain on 12 expeditions alone was 460,000 Pound Sterling.

His ships sailed to the farthest corners of the world - to India, Malaysia, Indochina. Strictly managed its colonies, carried out extensive trade, had a great influence on the development of shipbuilding and other industries, which had a positive impact on the country's economy.
