CONNECT – SESSION | 29 June 2023 | Topic: Insights and lessons from current dynamics in the floriculture market

LET’S (e)CONNECT!  All Union Fleurs members  are invited to join our  CONNECT-Session on Thursday 29 June 2023 from 15H to 16H CEST (Amsterdam time-zone)

 

Our guest speaker Lambert van Horen, Senior Specialist Fresh produce at Rabobank Research Food & Agribusiness, will offer insights and perspectives on the market dynamics for floriculture products over the past year. He will look back at how the floriculture industry has reacted and adjusted to various critical developments (COVID, high inflation, logistic issues, Ukraine war and geopolitical tensions etc) and how consumers have been behaving during the period.  And he will suggest lessons and learnings that could be drawn for the industry from these rather turbulent times.

This shall inspire for a productive discussion and interesting exchanges of views with the participants during this 1H get-together!

Union Fleurs members have received an invitation to sign-up  & confirm their attendance. For any questions, please contact the secretariat: info@unionfleurs.org
