Colour and scent

Inspire Europe with your colourful variety of flowers

A bouquet of beautiful, brightly coloured flowers is still the first choice of gift for birthdays or anniversaries in Germany and throughout Europe. Therefore, for you as a producer of fresh cut flowers, the European market offers many opportunities, especially for small and medium-sized business enterprises.

More and more florists are on the lookout for premium quality products and unusual varieties for their customers. This opens up a lucrative niche for smaller growers of roses, carnations, hydrangeas, proteas and other high-quality cut flowers from Ecuador, Colombia, Kenya and South Africa.

However, you will need to be well-prepared for entering the market. For example, you will require proof documenting your safe and sustainable production processes and, ideally, certification such as GLOBALG.A.P., MPS or Fairtrade.

IPD lends you support in meeting the respective criteria and certification requirements, paving the way for you to deal directly with your customers in Europe – without intermediaries and other detours.
