INDIAN FLOWER EXPORTS FAIL TO BLOOM IN CHRISTMAS SEASON
Article Abstract:
Traders of cut flowers of India were not able to boost their exports during the Christmas season of 1998 due to delayed flowering. The production was delayed due to the absence of sunlight for 10 days in leading growing areas around Bangalore. This resulted in Indian exporters missing 4 auction days in Holland, which is one of the largest flower auction centres in the world. The Indian cut-flower exports fell by 30 percent before Christmas due to a drop in production. Christmas is the second best season after the Valentine's Day as the prices of flowers increase by 100 percent during this period. In 1998, Indian flowers earned 1-1.25 cents per centimetre stem (0.6 cents per centimetre stem in 1997). (ag)
