Flower
Sector Overview
Flower
exports have exploded in recent years, and in less than
a decade, Ecuador has captured a huge portion of the international
market share. As with many other agricultural products,
Ecuador's geographical location and topography give the
country a natural advantage over competition.
Ecuador
exports numerous species of flowers, including Asthromelias,
Carnations, Chrysanthemums, Daisies, Ghipsophylias, Limonium,
and Roses (over 60 varieties). Canada, Germany, Holland,
Italy, Russia, and the United States are the leading importers
of Ecuadorian cut flowers. Ecuador also exports to Austria,
Chile, the Czech Republic, France, Hong Kong, Spain, Sweden,
and Switzerland.
Ideal
climatic conditions and inexpensive production costs virtually
guarantee that Ecuador will continue seizing market share
around the globe.
