Flower Expo Ukraine: more Dutch innovations for the Ukrainian floricultural market
17-19 April 2018 the XII edition of the international exhibition Flower Expo Ukraine takes place in Kyiv. This year there are 34 Dutch companies participating at the trade show. They not only present their products and technologies but also bring to Ukraine their spirit of entrepreneurship, innovations and craftsmanship.
In his opening speech H.E. Ambassador Ed Hoeks informed: "The partnership between Ukraine and the Netherlands in this sector is already very strong. The Netherlands produces about 50% of all flowers worldwide and 80% of all bulbs. Our country exports them to all destinations, including Ukraine. Almost half of all imported cut flowers sold in Ukraine come from the Netherlands."
The exhibition has also diverse programs and florists demonstration. One of the brightest activities of the first day was a show organized in cooperation with the Kynologic Club "Baccarat" - bouquetes were made to present the different breeds of dogs. Plants and animals require attention, time and love. People feel right when they have someone to take care of.
Carolien Spaans, Agricultural Counsellor, stated that the success of the Dutch floricultural sector is in entrepreneurship, innovations and craftsmanship of the Dutch companies who not only create many new varieties every year, but also constantly invest in growing technologies, logistics and marketing of their products.
