The price gets lower as the clock ticks down but you have to know when to buy it before someone else does. It's sort of a game of chicken. How bad do you want the flowers and at what price? You are bidding against your competitors downward.
It's sad that yet another Dutch industry will disappear. Our economy will soon be based only on politics, top-level government employees and bureaucrats. Everyone outside these sectors won't be able to make a good living.
don't hold your breath for it NL is the #2 in the world in totals, it humiliates everyone in any other metric agri/horiclutural export in the netherlands is worth 90 billion annually, compare that to #1, the USA, worth 140 billion NL is 230x smaller in land mass, and 12-13x smaller in population (yes, our population density is really close to 20x higher than the USA on average) which means, that per capita, we produce about 14 times more the export value.... all this, gets prouced by a mere 0.6% of the population, because our farmers are high-tech noone is even remotely close #1 in any mertric but totals through sheer brute force, there is NOONE even in the rear view mirror in terms of efficiency, NL is the undisputed champion in agricultural export by a factor of about 10
I'm Portuguese, a country where that actually happened. The Netherlands is an extremelly efficient and diversificated economy. Be proud about it. This was not an industry, just an obsolete system
I live 500 meters away from the auction its huge!
