Anthos represents the companies that trade in flower bulbs and nursery stock products in many consultative structures with governments and organisations at home and abroad. That way, their interests are promoted in the best possible way, while the organisation contributes to an improved business climate for its members in the sector.

The field for promotion of interests covers a wide area, and this is where Anthos is active. For instance, the organisation is co-responsible for the sector policy in the flower bulb and nursery stock industry in the Netherlands. On behalf of the trade, Anthos participates in organisations, committees and other consultative structures, dealing with promotion, market access, quality, plant health issues, the environment, customs issues, education, research, logistics and spatial planning.
