In this clause you may watch more about the Colombian strategic agenda for the floriculture sphere 2020 – 2030 , scream " For the sustainability of the floriculture sector " , which of late has been present in the mien of Colombian President Duque . The agenda was jointly created by the Colombian National Government and the Colombian Association of Flower Exporters – Asocolflores .
Interesting elements for Dutch agribusiness are the statements and demands towards biological control and imports hereof , speeding up and also simplify ICA processes ( the Colombian NPPO ) , a.o . for pest jeopardy analyses , the ambition of Colombia to become a regional hub for plant stuff and improved agrologistics .
The main purpose of the agenda is to consolidate the leading of Colombian floriculture in international market through sustainable production and technical adaption , thus bestow to the profitableness of the sphere , country ’s development and floriculture workers communities . The agendum consists of 6 point of which the most important for Dutch factory farm and for our bilateral agenda are list below .
1 . Competitive legal framework : Floriculture in a framework of legality and competitivenessThe agenda states that for the competitiveness of the flower sphere simplification of the regulation on trade union movement , phytosanitary , environmental , revenue enhancement , logistics and extraneous swop processes is substantive .
The undermentioned 2 actions are condition :
1.1 give a regulating that takes into account the particularities of the floriculture sphere , amongst others with regards to :
a ) Land exercise : a zoning map of the floriculture sector is needed which can act as an instrumental role for regions and municipality to - under proficient conditions - prioritize land economic consumption .
c ) Foreign trade : for the importation of capital goods that contribute to increase the efficiency and productivity of the sphere a special import - export system should be design .
1.2 Adapt the regulative framework of the floricultural sector to promote flower gardening as an innovation cluster for plant cloth
The aim is to have a stable , clear and workable legislative framework for the significance of new cosmetic species and for the actualization of varieties of species which already are permit to enter the country . Both for commercial-grade activity and especially for research and development of Modern varieties . This in order for Colombia to become a regional hub for plant material , where - without mislay the scientific rigor and without disqualify the phytosanitary jeopardy consort with this appendage - manufacturer can weigh on the offer of improved plant textile .
Due to the climatical term of the rural area , Colombia has the ambition to become a supplier of industrial plant material for the region by carrying out hybridization processes in the country . At this point , ICA should pretend as a facilitator of these outgrowth so that Colombia does not lose its fight in terms of innovative plant material . peril Analysis processes and the validation of import requisite must be carried out in a scant time . The authorization of the use of secret plant quarantine and the establishment of others in association with the authorities and the asocolflores can help to realize this more quickly in such a way that these processes go at the same speed as the exploitation of variety fail .
Establishing import requirements that comprehend multiple countries and that are not specific for a coinage / country would be helpful as facts of life companies repeatedly do not just have one exclusive output land site .
2 . effective markets for foreign exchange coverage : Policies to palliate exchange rate risks in floricultureWithin a scenario of capital economical uncertainty in international markets that generates central rate volatility , it is necessary to be able to count on and strengthen financial instruments that mitigate currency risk of exposure . These are considered to be central aspects for the fight of the Colombian floriculture sector .
3 . Logistic and technical ontogenesis : effective logistics to conquer marketsWith the aim of being more effective and competitive , optimizing times , fortify legality and traceability in the time value chain , obtaining authentic statistics that account for the floriculture activeness , perform information depth psychology , as well as developing sustainable and articulate bodily process that postulate the elimination of the use of newspaper publisher , among others , make it necessary to have an adequate physical and technical substructure available for the maturation of logistical operations in club to decoct the toll associate with it .
3.1 fortify the physical infrastructure for the ontogeny of the flower gardening sectorWithin the model of the national government program called “ Rural Colombia ” , which seek to maintain and improve the country ’s tertiary road web " , inclusion of the roads near the flower yield centers , which are mainly locate in the regions of Cundinamarca and Antioquia , is required . This for increase logistical efficiency , lose weight operating costs and uncertainty for cargo transport , as well as to guarantee worker access to the crop in a secure way .
3.2 Strengthen info systems and technical tools within the time value chain of the floriculture sectorIt is necessary to be able to count on robust and interchangeable info scheme from authorities entity in purchase order to have a floriculture sector that can follow up on information and improve decision - devising through tools such as the generation of statistic , reports , indicators and other reports associated with the floriculture activity .
4 . Consolidation and marketplace exploitation : Strengthening commercial functioning in traditional and emerging marketsWith the aim of increasing flower exportation , it is necessary to carry on with the phytosanitary statecraft that the government carries out and its support to lay the Flowers of Colombia brand , through the maturation of activity that reserve the integration and opening of new executable markets . It is necessary to implement and play with data technologies and social net to enter new distribution channels and customer niches .
4.1 Support of marketplace researchSupport is required for the development of market inquiry study for Colombian flowers that allow , among others , to have information on the phylogenesis of the current and expected supplying and demand of flush worldwide and seasonable signal detection of threat and opportunity .
4.2 Develop promotional and marketing activitiesThe markets of the United States and Europe are currently the independent destination for Colombian flowers and have ample growth potential . At the same time , it seeks to infix newfangled authoritative markets such as China and Germany , in particular , which have always been a market- and logistical challenge for Colombian flowers . The support of the national governance is required to proceed positioning the “ Flowers of Colombia ” brand through engagement and promotion in traditional deal fairs or in newfangled food market and promotion of the – Colombian - Florverde Sustainable Flowers corroboration .
For all of the above , direction of entity such as the Ministry of Commerce , Industry and Tourism , ProColombia , the Ministry of Agriculture , especially through the ICA , and the Ministry of Foreign Relations , is crucial to attain these objective lens .
5 . Sustainable production : Mobilizing foundation to consolidate a sustainable floricultureThe culture of innovation is essential for the sustainability and competitiveness of the bloom develop sector . For this the articulation between academia , public and private sphere is all important .
5.1 Promote research projects for the flower gardening sectorFor the maturation and fight of the floriculture sphere , it is necessary to boost inquiry undertaking and their spread and adjustment , which kick in to a.o . the phytosanitary health status of the sphere , the exploitation and introduction of new variety , collection of familial material , direction of biologic control , efficient use of natural imagination , improvement in the economic consumption of inputs , effective water use , circular economy , encroachment of climate modification , designation and acquisition of new engineering science , depth psychology and commercialisation of native mintage , betterment in logistical processes , the cold-blooded chain , decrease in labour accidents and disease .
For this , it is significant to define institutional financial backing through the Agrologistics and Agrotechnology policy documents from the National Political , Economical and Social Advisory Board , which are in the process of being designed . Therefore , it is significant to function on topics such as :
a ) With the Colombian Corporation for Agricultural Research - Agrosavia
Line of research on bloom : In research subject it is crucial that there is a specific line of research from Agrosavia focused on flowers . In this sense , the proposal consists of get projects that postulate the prime sphere and in this way evaluate the relevancy of a specific line .
Agrosavia - Ceniflores : articulate research in plant material offspring to further the development of aboriginal metal money for product and export .
For this degree , it is important to take vantage of the work that Agrosavia already has been doing in the field of development of bio - inputs , genetic improvement and controlled surroundings .
b ) Agricultural technology : support is needed to encourage the usage of farming engineering science focus on increasing productiveness and quality of the exportation product . This encompasses consequence of substrates , preciseness irrigation system , mood direction and control , and information systems to optimize operational work .
c ) Information and Communications Technologies - ICT : it is necessary to utilize and further the function of ICT and technical tools within the value chain such as blockchain , data point mining and societal networks that support the security measures process of the value chain , as well as the consolidation and opening of new grocery .
Furthermore the following specific research topics that can be addressed through skill and technology projects are of interestingness to the sector have been identified , amongst others :
5.2 human Washington ontogenesis in career focus on issues associated with the flower sector
It is necessary for the academy to train professional agronomist focused on specialised issue in this sphere . Likewise , it is of import to have other careers focused and specialized on matter of involvement to this sector for its development and sustainability .
Asocolflores and Ceniflores together with the Ministries of Agriculture and Education , as well as SENA , can grow the corresponding training plans for the sphere .
6 . Bottlenecks to be resolve in the inadequate termThe 6th schedule pointedness of the 10 class plan is about settle bottlenecks of the floricultural sector in the little term , specially tie in to required changes in legislating to facilitate the business climate for the bloom producer and -exporters . Vis a vis ICA it asks for speeding up and facilitation of the significance / export of plant material , including PRA ’s and CTC ’s to enhance local enquiry and development of plant material . Vis a vis the ministry of environment it involve for the abolishment of the no - acknowledgment declaration for flowers and change of the present norm for the re - use of pee in the model of a more rotary economy .
