Indian exporters of cut flowers, especially cut roses, in addition to the growers have a bundle of reasons to cheer the arrival of a new year. Indian suppliers of floriculture have already experienced comprehensible rise in orders of cut rose. With the Christmas and New Year Eve having just been celebrated, and Valentine’s Day, Easter, and Mother’s Day being on line, springs seem to be hectic both for flower growers as well as International Trade Leads providing B2B Trade Leads. Flowers and Floral Arrangements Most Popular Springtime brings Cut flowers highest in demand. This is also the season to grow flowers. A variety of flowers grown in the season and available for floral decoration include Rose : The flower is grown around the world. It comes primarily three colors like white, yellow, and red.

An Opportunity for Indian Exporters of Cut Roses Floriculture in the form of cultivation and trade is practiced in the country since ages ago. However, it blossomed to a viable source of business only recently. India, today, comes among the largest flower producing countries, falling next only to China. Experts have anticipated an increase of above 10% in the segment of cut-flower exports. They also rule out any impact of European crisis on the trade. They consider that with access to a Business Directory or an Exporters Directory on the International Trade Leads, Indian suppliers have access to a bigger market. With decline in the value of Indian Rupee, experts consider it the most opportune time for the floriculture exports from India. While growers feel that the market is likely to gain with the depreciating rupee, since India happens to be one of the largest cut-rose providers to the European and American markets. With their reach to B2B Portals, Indian Exporters provide Indian Cut-rose to Australia, to the US, the UK, Germany, Netherlands, New Zealand etc. The value of exports in year 2011 was to the tune of $4.37 million. India has witnessed remarkable surge in the trade for decades with yearly rise in the volumes of exports and foreign currency earnings. A land of 3 lakh hectares was recently acquired by Bangalore-based Karuturi Global in Ethiopia for growing cut-roses, which may prove as a boost to the country's floriculture exports. | |
