Norway – Cut flowers

Saturday, June 20, 2009 · Posted in

Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day’s demand,
sales and results ended up very good and
satisfactory. Even though purchase prices were very
high this year, final sales went reasonably smoothly.
The general quality level of the flowers was good.
Roses from the Netherlands were of excellent
quality and the overseas imported roses only some
minor quality problems have been showing up. The
post Valentine’s cut flower market has been much
quieter and slower, which is nothing abnormal,
since the winter holidays took place during the last
two weeks of February. On the other hand, severe
winter weather came back with very low
temperatures and loads of snow until in the very
south of the country. Purchase prices became much
lower; not so much for roses, highly demanded for
the International woman’s Day in many other
countries, but for many other products, especially
the mini gerberas. At the end of the month it could
be very well noticed that spring was in the air. The
offered assortment really started changing,
especially towards the so-called spring or bulb
flowers, like tulips and daffodils.
