Non-auction days and early auction days

The starting point, as in previous years, is good logistical services (esp. dealing with direct trade) for suppliers and customers on the days when there are no auctions.


Non-auction days 2022

Here is the overview of the non-auction days in 2022 for our export locations (subject to approval of the Works Council).

2022	Day	Date	Week
Easter Monday	Monday	18 April	16
King's Day	Wednesday	27 April	17
Ascension Day	Thursday	26 May	21
Whit Monday	Monday	6 June	23
Boxing Day (Christmas)	Monday	26 December	52

The starting point, as in previous years, is good logistical services (esp. dealing with direct trade) for suppliers and customers on the days when there are no auctions.

For 2022 we have designated six early auction days. On these days auctioning starts an hour earlier at the export locations for both flowers and plants.

Day	Date	Week	2022
Tuesday	19 April	16	Tuesday after Easter
Monday	25 April	17	Extra early auction day on the Monday before King's Day
Monday	2 May	18	Busiest Monday for Dutch Mother's Day
Monday	23 May	21	After Mother's Day and in the week of Ascension
Monday (extra)	30 May	22	Monday after Ascension weekend
Tuesday	7 June	23	Tuesday after Withsun

For logistics, there is an additional possibility to announce several additional early auction days. This gives flexibility to scale up if the service comes under pressure.

If this option is used, we will communicate this at least 4 weeks in advance.
