The Dutch profited from the slave trade in that they sold slaves to American plantations.
In those times of colonial America, the Dutch had some territories in what today is Brazil. They profited from the slave trade in that they, like other European powers, sold African slaves to plantation owners in America to use them to farm the land and grow crops that had to be exported to Europe.
