Pricing"The retiring few week have been characterized by very good efflorescence pricing , with the caution that supply of rose and some other products were considerably lower than last twelvemonth . The weather in Africa understandably playact deception on the rose . Plant pricing gaol disappointingly , accompanied by disappointing sale on the clock . Overall , the bulk decline was high than the average in the previous month . I hope the plant life supply will recover for the balance of the year . The same goes for lagging flower miscellany . "
report ornamentals"Good pricing means there is still a lot of requirement for our product . But the reputation of floriculture requires ceaseless aid . direct sphere communicating is needed to feed positive perception and be lively in case of negative news report . late media coverage of the discharge of banned substances into airfoil water and the use of migrant worker with falsified papers show how vulnerable we are . Both within nursery gardening and decorative gardening , we work closely with all relevant sphere organizations . For instance , I had a constructive introductory coming together with the young chairman of the KAVB . The outside worldly concern looks at us as floriculture or greenhouse horticulture and does n’t wish about how we are organized . That is why we have to keep the ranks closed and work together and strengthen each other . "
