The sport and play between the large and small growers - that is what wee-wee our marketplace so inviolable . That is also what drive me as a new member of the Members ' Council . ensure that the marketplace stay that inviolable . For all entrepreneurs . Because we require each other very much , writes Jelle , who is co - owner of Gebroeders Van der Kroft , Ornamental Shrubs and Malus , in Wassenaar , Netherlands on the website ofRoyal Floraholland .
Our shared passionMy brother and I put up our company ten years ago repel by passionateness . I analyse plant skill at the university in Wageningen . I was necessitate : why become a raiser ? After all , profligate is thicker than water . We breathed new life into my grandfather ’s land , who used to grow bulbs . You do n’t get passion out of it just like that . Thank goodness for that !
latterly , I attended a Royal FloraHolland appendage ' academic term . What I saw there was beautiful . Sometimes we turbulently dissent with each other . But when it comes to growing flowers and plants - our share passion - that gap on the spur of the moment becomes much smaller .
Together we can achieve a various shelveSmall cultivator often focalise on corner product , which are afterward picked up more widely in the market . My crony and I do the same from our smaller nursery . We grow crabapple . But the oxypetalum is also a good example .
little entrepreneurs and handsome guys complement each other nicely in this means . The diminished one are able to try out . They flex flexibly to trends and wishes from the market . If it flex out to be a success , larger glasshouse join in . They are able to make such a new ware usable on a larger scurf . This is how we keep our market divers and interesting for purchaser in the Netherlands , Europe and the rest of the universe .
In other words : the multifariousness of large and small agriculturalist in our cooperative is of great market economic value . Even though the lowly agriculturist may not earn as much in euros on the bottom line . They do guarantee the development of the Cartesian product range , the experience , the extra that just about fill out the market . My appeal to the cooperative and the organization is therefore : ensure that the clock stay accessible to everyone . Rules are necessary , but keep those rules the same for everyone . take a shit certification compulsory result to growers pulling out . There must be another way .
Let your spokesperson be get word and listen to each otherFor me , this story is the reason why I put myself forward as a candidate for the Council of Members . I am very proud that I can present our grassroots since January . Because I conceive that if something is bothering you , you should talk up . Not just complaining afterwards , but making your voice heard now .
engagement in the Member Sessions and other meetings is authoritative . But meet each other on other fronts too . Go and have a coffee together . Take an sake in other hoi polloi ’s businesses and working methods . mind to each other and get word from each other . If you do that , you will see that you empathize each other better and dear . And then you ’ll also understand why certain pick are made . And that you may talk about it . We take each other very much . On the ledge , but also in the cooperative .
