Production Shifts in the Floriculture Industry

The current state of the flower industry is a major change in production and consumption. In Russia and Ukraine production has shifted significantly from the Netherlands to the north of the Black Sea. In addition, consumption is also an industry shift factor in emerging markets and the market worsening. Africa is also an emerging market and explains the continued development of the cold chain. In areas such as Aalsmeer, Noordwijk, Westerland, the production of flowers and plants in the Netherlands has slowed significantly.

The flower industry includes cultivation of bulbs, cut flowers, leaves and plants and distribution to domestic and foreign markets. According to the coordination code system, flower products are classified according to code 06 (living tree and other plants). In this case, it is appropriate to understand the international and domestic scenario of the flower industry. The world's flower industry is doing a lot of success on all continents. The number of participants is increasing in both developed and developing countries. World flower products are importing and exporting over 9 billion US dollars, of which Europe is the largest exporter and importer of flower products (Pathfast Publishing, 2004; Van Liemt 1999: 7; ITC calculation based on COMTRADE statistics).

The Government of India has recognized the flower industry as a sunrise industry and has given a 100% export oriented status. Due to steady growth of demand for flowers and flowers, it is one of the important commercial industries in agriculture. As a result, production is carried out under controlled climate conditions in the greenhouse, so commercial flowers appear as high-tech activities. Planting in India is regarded as a high growth industry. Commercially available flowers are increasingly important from the perspective of export. Liberalization of industrial policy and trade policy has paved the way for export oriented cut flower production. With the new seed policy, importing materials of international varieties became possible. Commercial flower cultivation has been found to be more likely per unit area than most outdoor crops and is therefore a valuable project.
