The XI International Trade Fair "FlowersExpo'2021", which was successfully held on September 14-16, delighted everyone with its festive atmosphere and optimistic mood. The classic format of the exhibition, as in 2020, was complemented by a virtual online project.
Be it Russia or the US, there are not enough flowers, say producers and traders alike in both of these different, yet large and nonetheless closely related markets.
From September 14th till 16th, over 250 exhibitioners from a dozen different countries participated with a stand at the FlowersExpo Russia.
One of the significant events within the framework of the business program of the international exhibition "FlowersExpo 2021" in Moscow was a "round table" on the topic "Industrial floriculture in Russia. The current situation and new opportunities", organized with the participation of the Association "Greenhouses of Russia" and the National Association of Flower Growers.
About 80 percent of the flowers sold in Russia are imported. And only 20% on the flower market flowers from domestic producers. Own flower production was severely affected by the pandemic year.
The Chairwoman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko spoke about the support of Russian flower growers in December 2020 at a meeting with state secretaries.
Eastern Europeans like flowers, but as far as production is concerned, there has never been a Naivasha, Bogota or Westland in the region.
