At the request of the FPC, the VBN Regulations Steering Group has been asked to take a decision about modifying the product specification, in order to improve the presentation and quality of Alstroemeria.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After an intensive process involving several Alstroemeria suppliers (including a survey), buyers, the Product Specifications and Regulations Department and the Product Team of Royal FloraHolland, the primary outcome was a request for a link between length and weight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This proposal was accepted by the VBN Regulations Steering Group. From 1 January 2017 there will be a link between length and weight for Alstroemeria, according to the table below:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*For bunch weight of 600 g and over \u2013 minimum number of spikes per package 60<\/span><\/p>\n

**For bunch weight of 300 g and under \u2013 minimum number of spikes per package 100<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This link between length\/weight means that suppliers can only provide packages according to the specifications in the table: with a minimum length of 45 cm and a maximum length of 90 cm and the associated weights (minimum). Thus, for example, supplying flowers with a length of 80 cm is only permitted if the stem weight is at least 50 g. Intervals of 5 cm exist for lengths between 45 and 70 cm, and intervals of 10 cm for lengths between 70 and 90 cm. The link between length\/weight applies only to Alstroemeria and not to Alstroemeria Florinca.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The grading codes remain unchanged.<\/p>\n
