Trade Fair Aalsmeer
Trade Fair Aalsmeer is also commonly known as the FloraHolland Trade Fair, of FHTF. The around 750 exhibitors are mainly Dutch, but the visitors come from all over the world to see the latest developments in flowers, plants, and product concepts.
This is a good place to maintain or expand your network within the flower industry, be updated on the latest innovations, make direct deals for the coming seasons, or simply indulge yourself in the atmosphere of the floral world coming together again.
