Knowledge Centre Product Quality
If you wish to have the vase life test performed by an independent body, for whatever reason, you may contact FloraHolland’s Knowledge Centre Product Quality .
The Knowledge Centre Product Quality has research facilities at three locations (Aalsmeer, Naaldwijk and Rijnsburg) and a laboratory to analyze pretreatment. Research is objective; we are ISO-certified and work according to VBN research standards.
You can have your product tested once or regularly at different times in the season. To do so, you can take out a test subscription with us. You determine the type of subscription: the testing frequency and cultivars to be tested. You also select the sale simulation that best suits your sales market and the content of the vase. You can select a simple basic report or add the information and photos you want. Test results can also be viewed online. A subscription can be obtained individually or as a group (e.g., a growers’ association).
The Knowledge Centre Product Quality has a great deal of information and knowledge on post-harvest quality and shelf life, based on its own research and that of others. The specialists at the Knowledge Centre Product Quality can help you understand the quality of your products and advise you on maintaining and improving shelf life. Do you have questions about proper post-harvest treatment, packaging, temperature and relative humidity during transport, or the product’s sensitivity to ethylene? The Knowledge Centre Product Quality is ready to provide advice and action.
