Can anyone tell us where the Largest perishable Goods warehouse in the World is Situated? Links to 3 other Warehouses of similar capacity in nearby towns
Helpful clue...They do auctions daily at the Main facility (Visitors welcome!)

Unknown what the Floorspace size is But I think Boeings Assembly area (Everett WA)has a serious challenger Smile

Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer/ Flowers auction Aalsmeer
'The world marketplace for flowers and plants'

Every day Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer sets the world price for flowers and plants. This happens by bringing supply and demand together by means of the auction clock- a fascinating process during which large and small batches of flowers are sold within fractions of seconds. Each day, 19 million flowers and two million plants are sold through 13 clocks at 'Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer'. It takes place within an area of almost one million m2. This means that Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer has the largest trade building in the entire world!

As a visitor to Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer, you will walk over a specially designed gallery. You can take a look at the auction without being noticed. Enjoy the gorgeous flowers, experience the hustle and bustle of auction. Come and take a look at Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer! More information: www.vba-aalsmeer.nl

Best finish this topic...
I originally thought the FloraHolland (The HQ) at Eelde Was the larger building .Does show on Google Maps As 2 Massive Units

Look up the History of the History of the Company Wikipaedia is best ,as the official websites English Language part is incomplete

And You find that this company is the combined merger of the 2 Largest Wholesalers markets in Holland
And do look out for the works traffic on the Vids Big Grin
And the Auction room...Beat the clock game? Big Grin
Hey Tree? That Would make a nice vacation for you? Smile

Vid 1
Vid 2 This is a full 10 minutes long and in Dutch (Promotional?) But you can follow the action easily ,and you can appreciate just how big internally it is. Also the works Traffic situation

The Ad ...Enjoy Big Grin
