On the internet is a wealth of data freely available: Websites and Social Media provide information on using experiences of consumers and their questions about products. Open Data from public and private sources provide insight into the expected supply of products. Horticulture companies make little use of this wealth, precisely at a time when market information is of such importance. Two factors hindering the efficient use of data. First, the necessary investments and knowledge go beyond the capacities of individual companies.
