Floral Associations Push Congress for Cost-Saving Measure

October 10, 2024 Society of American Florists

Leadership from the Society of American Florists (SAF) and the Association of Floral Importers of Florida (AFIF) recently pressed Congress to renew the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), a trade program that enables duty-free access to imported flowers. Renewing the GSP could save the U.S. floral industry an estimated $20 million annually, providing stability and enabling reinvestment within the industry.
