In-Depth Information
Current commercial production and marketing of floricultural crops follows a
complicated, ever-changing horticultural distribution supply chain.
There is increased interest in certification programs in order to grow ornamentals
environmental friendly.
Innovation of the flower assortment is a continuous process. At national and
international exhibitions developments are presented.
Ornamentals are grown worldwide. The Netherlands plays a central role in the
trade, production and breeding of ornamentals. The large scale production (of roses)
takes place more and more in the countries with an optimal climate (Kenya, Ethio-
pia) followed by transportation to the auction of Aalsmeer.
