Selling at auction

Growers have been selling their flowers and plants at Royal FloraHolland auctions for over a hundred years. Optimal pricing at the lowest possible costs is of paramount importance.

You will find the widest and deepest floriculture assortment on our floriculture marketplace every day. It is the leading international showcase for supplying your (new) products. All over the world, buyers are ready to buy your flowers or plants from behind their screens every day from 6 am our time via 'Distance Buying' (DB).

Deliver your fresh flowers or plants every day and we will take care of auction sales and logistical delivery to buyers. You set your own individual minimum price for each lot.

How does it work?

  • To sell at auction, your flowers or plants must have been supplied to one of our physical hubs
  • You need an 'Auction delivery note' for that
  • You prepare and send an 'Auction delivery note' on Floriday or through a software package linked to Floriday.
  • As a grower, you prepare an auction delivery on Floriday or your linked software and immediately indicate whether you also want to supply for Auction presales

The auction is changing

The auction is still a familiar and successful way for many growers to sell flowers and plants. That is why we are busy future-proofing it. For example, we will increasingly auction the supply and demand of flowers and plants from one place, while everything is at our physical hubs.

Set an individual minimum price

From 1 January 2024, there will no longer be collective minimum prices at auction (also known as VBN prices). You will specify your own individual minimum price. If the auction price falls below this minimum price, the product rotates. This will give you the opportunity to respond to market developments.

Continuous auctioning

Do you supply your products on different load carriers or at different times but want to have them auctioned as a single lot? Then choose 'Continuous auctioning'.

Logistics fulfillment

Whether you sell all your flowers and plants at auction, directly or actually prefer a combination of auction and direct trade, Royal FloraHolland makes supplying and delivering to your customers as easy as possible for you. Even if you don't yet know when or through which sales channel you want to sell. Or if you don't have enough space yourself to store your products temporarily. Together, we will find a solution that suits you.
