About flowers, cut; chrysanthemums, flowers and buds of a kind suitable for bouquets or ornamental purposes, fresh

HS code 060314 covers the import and export of cut flowers, specifically chrysanthemums, that are suitable for use in bouquets or other ornamental purposes. This industry plays a significant role in the global floriculture trade, providing a wide range of vibrant and visually appealing flowers for various applications, from personal celebrations to commercial decorative displays. Chrysanthemums are a popular choice due to their diverse color range, long-lasting freshness, and ability to thrive in different climates, making them a valuable commodity in the international flower market.

Production process

The production of chrysanthemums for the cut flower industry involves several key steps. Growers typically start by propagating the plants through cuttings or seeds, carefully managing the growing conditions to ensure optimal plant health and flower development. Chrysanthemums are often grown in greenhouses or open fields, where they are subjected to precise temperature, lighting, and irrigation regimes to promote the desired bloom characteristics. Harvesting is a critical stage, as the flowers must be carefully cut at the right stage of maturity to maintain their freshness and visual appeal during transportation and distribution.

Production inputs

The production of cut chrysanthemowers requires several key inputs, including high-quality planting materials, such as cuttings or seeds, as well as specialized growing media, fertilizers, and pest control products. Growers also rely on advanced greenhouse technology, including climate control systems, irrigation equipment, and specialized lighting, to create the optimal growing environment. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce to handle the various stages of production, from propagation to harvesting and post-harvest handling.
