Colombia is one of the best countries in producing flowers in the whole world. Most of the people do not know that almost all of the flowers seen in flower shops, grocery stores and other stores in the USA, come from Colombia. All those pretty colors and magnificent flowers are mostly from Colombia. Since I stated in most of my blogs before we all know that Colombia is not in a very good economic position, and the Colombian people survive only from the natural resources like i am talking about today in the Flori-culture business. As I researched Colombia has its own special areas of producing flowers, the first one is in the savanna of Bogota(the capital of Colombia),the second one is in Antioquia, and the third one is in center and west of Colombia. Also the highly requested product is the roses, and the second one is the carnation, which are beautiful colorful flowers and the most abundant in Colombia. I also found out that the most demanding countries that help Colombia in this business are : USA, United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, Canada, Spain, Holland, and Germany. Adding to that I also acquired this chart stating the exports in millions of dollars from the main countries in the year of 2007, from North American $933.0, Europe $100.4, and others $80.5, which was a total of $1.114 million dollars in the year 2007.
Just in the year 2007 Colombia exported 231.943 tons of flowers to various countries,I believe that this is a huge help for the country, but is definitely not enough for us to depend solely on the exports of flowers.
