Así se preparan los cultivadores de rosas para el día de San Valentín

Los floricultores colombianos exportaron 246.000 toneladas de flores durante el 2017, lo que supone un crecimiento de 5 % con respecto al 2016. El crecimiento fue posible gracias a la llegada de las flores a nuevos destinos en el mundo como Santa Lucía, Antigua y Barbuda, Tailandia, Maldivas, Nigeria y Etiopía, entre otros, lo que supone un total de 98 mercados, detalló la Asociación Colombiana de Exportadores de Flores (Asocolflores) en un comunicado.
