Flowers can now travel long distances thanks to air freight and high-tech cooling systems. The country that exports the most cut flowers is the Netherlands, which dominates the world cut flower trade. There, seven auction houses handle about 60 percent of the world’s cut flower exports. Some auction houses are very large indeed- Aalsmeer, near Amsterdam, is a daunting auction house. About 120 soccer fields would fill its main hangar, which holds five auction halls. Nineteen million cut followers are sold here daily.
The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest money in flower research. Their scientists try to find ways to lengthen a flower ’s vase life, and to prevent flowers from being damaged while traveling on rough roads and to strengthen flowers’ natural fragrance. Despite Holland’s dominance of the flower market, there are many better places for growing flowers. Mauricio Davalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador’s flower industry. “Our biggest edge is nature,” said Davalos. With predictable rainy periods and 12 hours of sunlight each day, Ecuador’s roses are renowned for large heads and long ste ms. It has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to the country.
Recently, local growers in Ecuador have faced growing competition from greenhouses built by major international companies. Despite this, Davalos feels that the world cut flower trade is large enough to allow both high-tech international companies and smaller national growers to succeed. But not all are as optimistic, Lina Hale is an independent rose grower in the United States whose business is now under constant threat from cheaper imports from large companies. In the 1980s, her father predicted the situation would get worse: “I see a freight train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”
