The IFTF is in its second day today and the atmosphere is positive - even at the rose raiser , who are in particular dealing with a challenging year . When walking down the aisles , we do not try complaints , but we see the rose growers take steps to diversify themselves . They are not doing this by introducing new and unlike rosaceous salmagundi , but many also took the decision to add dissimilar crops to their classification .
Over the yr , the global product acreage of roses increased and now it seems to have strain a detail that the market is over - flood . The decisiveness to start trialing and originate novel and different crops also opens new door for growers . induce bouquets at source , for example . Over the last years , the task costs in Europe and the UK increase significantly , so the demand for create bouquet at root increase . As the cultivator can produce and make their own bouquets , the flowers are deal less times and are therefore fresher .
At the IFTF , the growers are proudly present their new products and the products that they are trialing to see if there is a demand for it . In total , nearly 300 exhibitors , mainly consisting of breeder , growers and suppliers of machines and technique , are deliver their products and help at the Expo Haarlemmermeer in Vijfhuizen . Many visitor will merge their IFTF visit with a sojourn to the Flora Holland Trade Fair in Aalsmeer - a fair that offers space to grower of the Royal FloraHolland auction , breeders , the trade , and to a certain extent suppliers of products of add time value to the floriculture industry .
