The summer holidays are typically a quiet menstruum for flower sales , but this summertime seems even quieter than former years , players in the prime business deal note .
Hans Visser Flowers
Richard de Boer of Hans Visser Flowers agrees . " The preceding few weeks have been very quiet , and the next two weeks will likely remain the same , as many flower store are closing for the holidays . To maintain sales , we find that working closely with growers is all-important . There is less supply at the auction bridge , and more verbatim sale are taking station . The current provision is also lower compared to last year ; the quantities are small , and they vacillate greatly from day to day . This is mainly due to the recent weather , as springiness was very wet , followed by several calendar week of vivid Lord’s Day and heat energy . The situation in Israel also adds uncertainty , as many flowers are source from there . We expect the trade to stay quiet for a while , but it should pick up again around mid - August . We do n’t have many weddings at the mo , but that will also pop to increase shortly . "
Joost Petri , Starline Flowers
According to Joost Petri of Starline Flowers , swop is middling much at a standstill these workweek : Honestly , it has never been this bad . In the last few weeks , we ’ve had the European Championships , the Tour de France , and now the Olympics . On top of that , the conditions has been very live , and the summer holidays have commence . All of this has lead to very few gross sales .
Additionally , prices are n’t sailplane , even though Dutch flowers were still quite expensive in July . We focus on Italy and Colombia , and that will proceed . However , Italy is at a standstill because nothing really grows there due to the heat energy . When it ’s 28 degrees here , it ’s 48 degree there . It ’s part of the summertime season , but it ’s still unmanageable . In the morning , we have about two hour of work , but after that we go for for the upright . As a interlocutor , you often notice that during already quiet periods , it get even quieter for us . I carry thing to pick up again in September . Last year , it jump in the third hebdomad of August , but I ’m more pessimistic this yr . "
