Asmir Flower auction Market (Flower Auction Aalsmeer) is the largest flower auction market in the Netherlands and the largest flower market in the world, where 80% of the world's flower products are traded; advanced high-tech and efficient auction methods are the reasons why Dutch flower trade is so prosperous.

Mayor Lu Xiuyan and the municipal delegation went to Asmir Flower auction Market on the 9th. In the world flower industry, more than 15% of the import or re-export of flowers takes place in "Aalsmeer". The commercial building of "Asmir Flower auction Market" is also the largest building in the world, with 14 auction bells, accounting for about half of the company's turnover. The top three cut flowers at auction are roses, tulips and chrysanthemums. The top three types of potted flowers are Phalaenopsis, longevity flowers and roses, of which Phalaenopsis alone has an auction value of nearly 500 million euros a year.

Mayor Lu Xiuyan also experienced the unique and interesting flower auction process of "Asmir" on the spot, observing that the pointer of the auction clock continued to rotate from a higher price to a lower price until a buyer pressed a button, and the price at which the pointer stopped was the sales price. then, the winning buyer informed the required quantity through the microphone.

In this regard, Mayor Lu Hsiu-Yan agrees that if all wholesale operations in Taichung City are automated and computerized, there will be several benefits: first, it will be fairer; second, prices will be more transparent; and third, negotiations or transactions between underwriters or buyers will be faster and more time-saving.
