With tune tape drive rate from Colombia and Ecuador to the US skyrocketing , alternatives like sea transport are on the salary increase . Another alternative to get roses to the US market more inexpensively is by growing them on another locating , like Mexico . " Mexico is quickly becoming the ' novel frontier ' for unused flowers to the US and I see practiced opportunities to originate good calibre rosebush in this land for exportation " , says US flower importer Andre Savrmoutou of AmeriLink and Flowers from Mexico .

Many flowers are grown in Mexico with most fate to fill up domestic requirement , which is very eminent . So , there is often no motive to export , but there are opportunities luring , explicate Savrmoutou . " The climatologist conditions in the Coatepec Harinas surface area , for illustration , are very respectable for rosaceous product . And for export - apt growers , like Dutch growers are , it would be a great opportunity to start a business . "
Gerberas grow by one of Savrmoutou ’s Mexican suppliers .
For long time , Savrmoutou has been importing flowers from Mexico , but his grasp of roses is modified . " We presently do not have a good source for this production in Mexico now . There is a big and good timber prove manufacturer , who grows rose with a top dog sizing over 6 cm , but he has his hands full on the domestic mart . "
So , there is proof that roses can grow really nicely in this area , only not many exploit the opportunity of export them . But why should a agriculturist start growing blush wine in Mexico ?
fit in to Savrmoutou , the skyrocketing pace for air transport play an important role , as many of the bloom can be shipped by truck . " We furnish Mexican blossom all over the US , and around 85 - 90 pct that we supply to the East glide belong by truck . late , we started smaller shipments to Chicago and Miami as well . "
motortruck leave a Mexican farm , going to the US.Other advantages Savrmoutou reference are : the ability to ship farm to customer in pee ( Procona or Aquabox ) and the abundance of confinement in the area for any fragrance meeting place operation and greenhouse- and grading employment .
A challenge might be controlling botrytis during the pelting season . " When growing pink wine , in my judgment , controlling botrytis from May to October / November is the grownup challenge . "
Snapdragons grown in Mexico , imported by Savrmoutou .
Savrmoutou is convert of the potential success for grow roses in Mexico and exporting them to the US . " I mean the time is right to get Dutch growers to commence producing flowers in Mexico and we will gladly attend to in marketing their crops here in the US . "
