Spanish product supply
The supply of Spanish products for selling using the auction clock will again start at the end of October. We are expecting to start with the supply of zucchini and eggplants. We are also expecting that we will start slightly earlier with the supply of Spanish bell peppers because the supply of Dutch bell peppers is currently already decreasing pretty quickly.

The Spanish product supply will then be further expanded as from November depending on the Dutch product supply. We usually try to have a small overlap. When there is more clarity about the developments of the supply, we will communicate this through the WebClock newsletter.

Important consideration:ZON will continue to stick with a 20% tolerance regarding the colour range for Spanish green bell peppers during the coming season.

Turkish and Moroccan product supply
Again, there are several campaigns to further expand the range of import products from Turkey and Morocco. When there is more clarity about the developments of the supply, we will communicate this through the WebClock newsletter.

Recently, the addresses of the online auction farm-to-buyer clock locations have been listed in the Product Catalogue as shown below.

As from 1 November 2025, it will be possible for customers of ZON who purchase at the auction via the Webclock to retrieve the price information of the last six auction days on a daily basis in the WebClock (KOSMOS). To use this information service, a minimum annual product turnover at the auction clock of €25,000 regarding the relevant customer number is required. In addition, one year of purchasing based on the auction clock must first, however, have taken place regarding this customer number. See the image below.

This new information service will incur a fee of €15 a month per customer number. This fee will be charged on a monthly basis.
