International Floriculture Industry
Opportunities for export•25% of the total imports by the European Union (2007)
was imported outside EU
•Netherlands is the leading importer of produce from developing countries (accounting 56%)
•Top suppliers outside EU1. Kenya2. Colombia3. Ecuador 4. Zimbabwe*Ethiopia
Floriculture Industry in Pakistan
•Pakistan has one of the most fertile lands and climatic conditions favorable to the production of flowers
•Most are sold locally and a small quantity is exported to the Middle East
•Flower cultivation is concentrated to only a few varieties
•Major flower uses locally are for marriage ceremony and decorations
•Fresh flowers are used as bouquets while the dried ones are sources of natural essence
Floriculture Industry in Pakistan
•Pakistan has been engaged in the production of cut flowers for a few decades; however it is an infant industry as far as its growth is concerned
Lack of resources and skilled persons limits the development of the industry
Similarly a large number of fresh cut flowers are wasted due lack of infrastructure, improper packing, mishandling and other related problems
Limited varieties of flower produced due to the lack of awareness and knowledge on production side

Gladiolus Farming in Pakistan-An advantage
•there is a shift in trend towards tropical and sub-tropical flowers
•suitable agro-climatic conditions of the country clearly indicate that wide range of ornamental crops can be grown
•As gladiolus is cultivated in rural areas, its potential for generating employment is an added advantage to improve the economic conditions of the weaker section of the society.
Estimation of Income and Costs• Input variables
• Total harvest / acre
• Prevailing market price of Gladiolus
• Costs – labor, seed, fertilizer, irrigation, pesticide, weedicide
• Human resource – age of farmer, educational attainment, flower growing experience, farmer classification (owner, tenant, owner-cum-tenant)

Conclusion
•The study concludes that gladiolus production is a profitable business as shown by economic analysis using margins and ratios
•Estimates of productivity of inputs reveal that fertilizer, pesticides and irrigation are critical and must be the focus of farm management decisions involving appropriate amount and quality given existing farm technology for gladiolus
•Current challenges (to attain international standards) must be overcome in order to explore export opportunities
Philippine Setting
• The country is endowed with good soil and climate that allow growing of ornamental plants all year round
•Domestic production of cut flowers has been increasing annually since the 90’s, with a 20% growth rate from 1990-2003
• Exports have increased steadily at 3% growth rate since 1991
•Varieties produced include roses, mums, orchids, anthurium, chrysanthemum, gladiolus, liliums, heliconia
•During peak season, domestic supply falls short of demand by 30%. The shortage is often filled by imported materials
• Export of cut flowers is on a limited scale, with gladiolus among the top varieties of cut flower exported• 46% of total export of gladiolus are exported to Korea

• Long-term export potential in Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Middle East, US, and Europe
Floriculture in the PhilippinesOPPORTUNITIES
• Limited availability of planting materials
• Limited R&D for continuing institutionalized national breeding program and selection of suitable breeds for local and export markets
• Limited technologies on: genetic engineering, production of planting materials, postharvest handling practices packaging
• Inadequate postharvest processing, storage, transport facilities, and infrastructure for export
• Limited access to and high cost of financing
• Lack of quality control among producers
• High import duties on production inputs
• Inconsistent supply of floriculture products/ inadequate volume of production for exports
Floriculture in the PhilippinesWEAKNESSES
• The high cost of structures like greenhouse, irrigation and postharvest facilities
• production technology is still insufficient • limited R&D, particularly institutionalized national breeding
program and selection of suitable breeds for local and export markets
• As a consequence, there is a shortage of cut flowers volume wise and quality wise• small growers cannot compete with big growers
