The document discusses the VBA, the world's largest commercial flower auction building. It handles 36% of global flower auctions with a transaction value of around $2 billion. The VBA aims to source flowers at minimum cost and obtain the best price for growers. It notes that Dutch growers have a strong position due to their advanced technology and traditional dominance in flower production. However, the VBA has high operating costs for small orders and exclusivity could be a weakness. There is an opportunity to optimize commissions and increase suppliers and buyers through different options beyond the exclusive membership.
