Sales of Colombian cut flowers are expected to fall in the United States this
year due to a reduction in the country’s consumer spending, changing climate

La Republica.
Earnings collected from sales of the export commodity are predicted to decrease
from the $1.03 billion registered last year – a figure which itself is a
reduction from the previous year’s sales.
President of the Colombian Flower Exporters’ Association, Augusto Solano,
explained that the demand for cut flowers in the United States “continues to be
low.”
