What More Can We Do?

Exportation Process of Flowers

• The exportation of flowers, particularly chrysanthemums, occurs daily. Questions arise about the timing of harvesting and packaging for export.

• Discussion on recording conditions in a cold room where flowers are stored before transport, including temperature management and solutions used during transportation.

• Most chrysanthemums are grown in greenhouses or can be kept outdoors; the beauty of the flowers is highlighted during this segment.

Flower Varieties and Quality Control
