Long stems and large flowers from Ecuador and Colombia

The import promotion initiative will be presenting the products from nine South American companies at the international cut flower fair. Amongst which: rose producers from Ecuador will be showing their wide range of high quality products and will also be presenting their varieties of carnations, hydrangeas and callas. From Colombia, which to this point has been well renowned for its carnations, the IPD will present producers of hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, craspedia, gypsophila and cut foliage. These farms do not only offer high-quality cut flowers, but also offer extraordinary variety, including rarities of unusual cut foliage in addition to rare and sometimes even exclusive roses.

There are many small and medium-sized producers from both Ecuador and Colombia. These farms work highly professionally and are well prepared in terms of logistics. Both countries also possess the ideal climatic conditions for floriculture: equatorial sun, high altitude and the climate of the Andes, ensuring not only long, strong stems, but also large flower heads and intense colours. "Direct imports have many advantages," says Andreas Gemaehlich, IPD Expert for Sourcing + Markets. "The manageable size of the company simplifies direct exchange and alignment with customer demands. Additionally, direct trade enables good traceability and compliance with sustainability, ensuring social standards throughout the entire supply chain."
