Bus/Financial - Business/Commerce (general) / auctions | | Dutch term or phrase: bemiddeling | Does anyone know whether 'brokerage' is the right term in this specific context? Comes up in an interview with the Director of a Belgian fruit and veg auction association X.
We zien meer en meer Nederlandse en Franse producenten die leveren aan een X-veiling en nu ook voor het Flandria-keurmerk beginnen te werken. Speelt Flandria ook hier een pioniersrol?
- “De grensoverschrijdende samenwerking is een verrijking voor beide partijen. Steeds meer buitenlandse telers vinden de aanpak van de Belgische telersverenigingen goed en wensen daarom aan te sluiten. De transparantie in de prijsvorming (combinatie van klokverkoop en bemiddeling) betekent nog steeds een voordeel voor de producent."
'Klokverkoop' refers to the 'Dutch auction system'. I've been given the following definition of 'bemiddeling':
Niet alle producten die op de veilingen worden aangeboden, geraken rechtstreeks verkocht via de veilingklok. X probeert de resterende producten van alle aangesloten veilingen te verkopen via de zogenaamde bemiddeling. X belt 's middags grote inkopers op en stelt ze een verkoopprijs voor die het midden houdt tussen wat de veilingen 's-ochtends graag hadden gekregen en wat de inkoper wil betalen. Een soort van makelaardij dus. |
