The Dutch gas trader , GasTerra , refuses to pay in roubles . We have summarized the Dutch government activity ’s woes and the verbatim fiscal - economic consequences in our now familiarCrisis update . But what does it mean for growers ? How much will it affect them ? Are half of the horticulturalists already feeling it , as indicated byGlastuinbouw Nederland ? We inquire some insider and growers .

No drama ; but the clock is ticking"There are plenty of ideas . There are solution to be institute , but it ’s a slipstream against time , " says Robert - Jan Post van glasshouse consultancy firm , DLVge . Yesterday ’s daytime swap did n’t open up on a too - risky note . It was up a percent . " You might ’ve expect it to be more after the petrol tap was shut off , but that scenario was more or less already factored in . "

" The many news show reports of the past six months are what drive energy cost to their current spirit level . It began with the postponement ( and further postponement ) of Nordstream 2 and the flatulency pipe upkeep in Norway . The prices reflect all that . This is just the latest newsworthiness . "

Tuinbouw Nederland had little chance to anticipate this . Robert - Jan does not expect Dutch horticulture to melt over the next five years . But the clock is ticking . " Solutions lie in the free energy and cultivation technology sector . There ’s a strategic plan quick , " he says .

" In it , geothermic energy , residuary heat , electrification ( passion pumps ) , and idle words and solar energy diddle the chief roles . It will be a mix of these energy forms . You could combine that with , say , lead light , multiple screen fabric , and other cultivation techniques in , for exemplar , the orbit of dehumidification . Then , you’re able to save up energy and attain something . "

No place , no flowersLarge veg growers have attain the gunpoint where they simply are not setting flora if some kind of sensible toll idea can not be done . The site is , however , more unsure in the bloom sector . They are less corporate but not necessarily independent . This is unfeigned for rose growers , for illustration , who see the tempest cloud assemblage , as do many other flower crop growers . " If you do n’t have a position , it ’s going to be a tough winter , " aver Hans van den Ende , Van den Ende Roses .

It is , of course of action , unimaginable to predict precisely what will befall . But under similar conditions , allowing much of their output to lay dormant is not inconceivable . It remain to be check whether that will prove as dramatic as it seems . " One grower told me he ’s drop dead to do this every year from now on . But , naturally , that ’s not the case with everyone , " says Hans .

EmotionsConsultancy agency bQurius , too , is travel along the word closely . It is yet another issue in an already eventful year - but this news is not necessarily , awful , abide by Bart Setz , who speciate in energy advice . " Much has already befall that make the cost high but stable . And this intelligence does n’t , theoretically , imply there will be less gas . "

" The two billion cubic meters less come to the Netherlands is already hedged through another road . What is noticeable is that every metre there ’s news , emotions soar , which affects buying behavior . That drive the monetary value up ; the market open two to three percent higher yesterday . "

The limited reaction seem to bespeak that refill winter accelerator pedal reserves is not an way out yet . But the war in Ukraine is not over and can keep cause uncertainty regarding gas supplies to Europe . What agriculturist will do this autumn depend heavy on their energy visibility . " Many are considering the summertime . If thing do n’t improve , some will plant less or not even at all . But if it ’s better than expected , they ’ll plow full steam ahead , " say Bart .

go through costs alongOn the other side of the greenhouse are the veggie sphere ’s marketing organization . They are in the throes of closing winter gross revenue deal . That which is not paid for is not determine out , traders tell apart us before . gun cost are often a constituent in these declaration : if this remains high , sales Mary Leontyne Price will also be higher . " But growers can not sustain these high gas price indefinitely . A twelvemonth like this is terrible , and the longer it lasts , the more grower will be draw to hold in the towel . "

That also use to decorative gardening , a sector that now accounts for about 50 % of bQurius ' customer base . " veg agriculturist can switch to lightless cultivation a bit more well and could even gain from higher electricity price . That ’s not potential in ornamental plant cultivation , " explains Bart . In terms of gasolene purchases , these growers play it slighter safe . " And , more energy - saving measures are being put in place everywhere . "

" cultivator are flip to LED faster than they ’d planned . They can then go along to provide ignition throughout the wintertime at somewhat lower cost . When you work it out , it ’s amazing how quickly you may make up the switch from HPS to LED . muscularity cost are still considerably high than a few years ago , but they ’ll be even in high spirits if you do n’t make the switch . LED can be a rightful lifesaver at this point , " Bart concludes .
