Alstroemerias a cut above at the auction clock

It was one of the first product mathematical group for which the Royal FloraHolland supply regularisation end , and so far this group is do well on the clock . The product in motion is the alstroemeria . Over the last weeks the demand and Price on the clock were pleasing . All in all it seems that this product mathematical group is one of the products that has stand the least from the COVID-19 situation . This is explain by Amerik de Best , auctioneer at Aalsmeer .

After having been an auctioneer at the roseate clocks at the Royal FloraHolland positioning in Rijnsburg for several year , Amerik switched location and product group last class . Now , he is auctioneer at the alstroemeria clocks in Aalsmeer and is very pleased with the carrying into action of the alstroemerias over the last hebdomad .

One of the first products for which the Modern supplying regulations stoppedAt first , De Best explain , the numbers at the clock were a mo lower , but they increased quickly after . " From Tuesday 15 May 2025 a temporary new provision rule was in force for the clock supplying . For every product group A2 and B quality flush and plants were no longer allow to be be supply . On top of that , only a percentage of blossom could be supply to the auction . As a result the numbers minify a chip , but as demand for alstroemeria was impregnable , it was one of the first product mathematical group for which the new supply scheme kick the bucket on April 29 . "

And since then , the supply , demand as well as the prices increase . The master securities industry for the alstroemeria is Europe , particularly Germany , but they are consider more and more client from the large easterly European countries starting to bribe at the clock again . And with positive results regarding the prices . " The average price is more or less similar to last twelvemonth , and for several diversity , it is even higher compared to last class . "

Why this mellow demand?The alstroemeria seems to be a product that is in high-pitched demand at the moment , but what could be the reason ? De Best : " In this production grouping , I only have one year of experience , but it seems that the long vase life is valued , and as there was a dearth of roses on the clock over the last week , it might also have been the case that some took it as an alternative and were pleased with it . Besides the vase life , there is a wide scope of varieties and it works very well in bouquets , so it ’s quite a various mathematical product . "

logistic challenge for African and South American growersEven though the damage at the clock are at a similar grade compared to last twelvemonth , the measure are still a bit lower . According to De Best , the independent reason is the logistic challenge that growers in Africa and South America are dealing with . " Just like we see in the roses , the growers growing alstroemerias in Kenya and Colombia are see a lack of air freight mental ability for the shipment to the Netherlands . "

Good hopes for the coming weekAccording to Amerik , last week has been a very good workweek , and he has even high hopes for this week . " It is catch a bit insensate , and this is always good for the swap than the hot sunny weather condition . "
