Four tips for optimal use of contracts

07-04-2021

In the floriculture industry, a lot of work is done on the basis of contracts. These contracts set out long-term agreements between grower and buyer. A buyer wants to record these agreements in advance, so that the buyer is sure to have the right items at the right time. A grower can adjust the cultivation to this and has the certainty that the agreed quantities will be purchased. This is because there’s an obligation to purchase if the agreements are laid down in a contract.

New approach Floriday in consultation with parties involved

31-03-2021

In February, the end date of 100% Digital was suspended after feedback from the market on the Floriday platform and its implementation. On the advice of the Members' Council, dozens of sessions with agents, growers, buyers and software suppliers have been held over the past few weeks to find out how we can improve Floriday. And it was discussed which functionalities are needed to be able to work with the platform. We will actively work with this feedback. We will therefore look together at what is a feasible end date. An end date for 100% Digital has therefore not yet been set and the Connect-EAB will continue to exist for the time being.
