These include special packaging materials and high quality distribution systems. Flowers and plants are transported all over the world, where appropriate under climate controlled conditions.

Holland Land of Flowers operates a close meshed distribution network that spreads across large parts of the world. Specialised transporters take the products from the nurseries to the auction or directly to the exporter, who is generally also located at an auction. Every day the exporters can choose from thousands of fresh products and purchase them in any desired quantity.

Within hours the purchased volumes have been split up into smaller orders and ready-made bouquets. If desired the buyer can have them supplied in his own packaging via air-conditioned trucks and aircraft. Every day fresh flowers leave Schiphol airport for destinations as far away as the United States and Japan.

Within Europe the sector aims to make use of high speed trains for the transportation of flowers and plants. Negotiations with the government are currently underway concerning the erection of special terminals along the high speed rail trajectories. This would result in the achievement of further time savings between the grower and the shop floor. Delivery reliability would also improve as traffic jams would no longer be an issue.
