Information about CC auctioning without a sample trolley
22 January 2021
At our locations in Aalsmeer and Naaldwijk, you can deliver your plants in CC containers on the clock. This used to be done with a so-called sample trolley. This sample trolley came physically in front of the clock and was representative of the CC containers that were set up elsewhere. As of 4 January 2021, the sample trolley will no longer be shown in CC auctions.
What does this mean for suppliers and buyers?
- If you work in your own software package and cannot create a CC lot without a sample trolley, then the instructions for filling in the delivery form in your EAB programme will change. Watch changed instructions for completing the form here >>
- Do you work in/via Floriday? In that case, you can only offer the CC-lot without a sample cart.
- You can keep supplying your CCs to the clock as usual. The sample cart will, however, no longer be used.
- Auctioning a lot with CCs consists of two or more CCs.
- Lots with CCs are auctioned in 3 separate auction groups:
-
- Auction group 204 CC outdoor.
- Auction group 206 CC flowering plants
- Auction group 208 CC green plants
As of Monday 25 January 2021, the following applies:
- All CCs are auctioned as a 2nd auction group on a fixed clock in Aalsmeer and in Naaldwijk. At Aalsmeer the CCs will be auctioned on clock 17 and at Naaldwijk all CCs will be auctioned on clock 13.
- The auction order in these auction groups is determined by 'Random Supplier Draw'; the CCs of one supplier are auctioned in succession from low to high supply letter number.
- CC auction groups 204, 206 and 208 will rotate among themselves on a weekly basis.
- We are investigating whether it will also be possible to auction CCs next year.
