As an auctioneer , you are always take care for the best price for the grower within the market .

I went to Kenya for a week in hebdomad 37 . My focus was on the rose agriculturalist who are also active in Rijnsburg .
Kenya tripAfter an eight - and - a - half - hour journey , I landed in Nairobi , which was also my groundwork of operation in most cases . Up early every day to go to various greenhouse , which are spread over a large orbit . This is how I visited Naivasha , Thika , Nanyuki and Kitale . The trips were recollective and intense ( and bumpy ) , but even the longest trip are beautiful when you are open to the diversity of landscapes , environment , and animals roaming freely there .
The subject that came up the most was ' the current securities industry for rose wine . ' Whereas normally , pricing recovers in late August , you see little improvement in roses . Also , toll are rise , and the turnover ( proportion of costs to output ) is therefore worrying . Despite this situation , I was well - received everywhere . For growers , the auctioneer , me in this case , is the most important contact . agriculturalist see us as a shaft that helps them get the maximum price .
Special experienceWhat a special experience to see how raiser work in Kenya . The cultivator bring firmly to adapt and improve their range and invest in water installation , biology , solar panels , and employees . The presence of nurseries provides job for many Kenyans , which is positive as unemployment is high-pitched in Kenya .
Besides the fact that I learned a lot about growing and line of work in Kenya , it is tremendously instructive to be alongside local colleagues from Kenya . They make love the culture and are of import in unite with the Kenyan growers . A big compliment for how they fork up their work there .

Roses , in peculiar are having a baffling clip . In contrast , Hydrangea , Solidago , Panicum , and Hypericum are doing well in the securities industry . In the Netherlands , we have had beautiful cheery weather this month , but by now , fall is in full swing . During this menstruum , the nights are commence inhuman again , which is dependable for crops .
