VBA is an intermediary between flower and plant growers and wholesalers. VBA provides a platform for growers and wholesalers to form a network. In essence‚ VBA acts as a platform provider to enable the exchange of flowers and plants between the two sides of the network.

Supermarkets directly negotiate contracts with large suppliers to lock in prices and quantities in advance.
