The premise is that, as in previous years, there will be high-quality logistical services (particularly fulfilment of direct trade and logistic supplies) for suppliers and customers on days when there is no auction
Early auction days 2025
Six early auction days have been designated for 2025. On these days, we will start auctioning at export locations an hour earlier for both flowers and plants.

Labour market tightness is expected to persist, and the period around the public holidays traditionally still peaks in terms of workload. If it turns out that an early auction day isn’t necessary after all, this will be communicated no later than three weeks in advance.
There is an additional possibility for logistics to announce maximum 4 additional early auction days. This gives flexibility to scale up if service provision comes under pressure.
If this is taken advantage of, we will communicate this no later than three weeks in advance.
