Coronavirus Is Crushing the Global Flower Market - Architectural Digest
Monday, April 27, 2020It's a phenomenon that's touched every link within the $8.5 billion industry's globalized supply chain, from the florists who place wholesale orders to the massive auction houses of the Netherlands to the farmers around the world who have no outlet for a product that stubbornly refuses to stop growing. Laura Clare, a New Jersey florist who normally orders at least $5,000 a week from wholesalers but is now in search of a Small Business Administration loan, described the situation to Bloomberg as totally unprecedented. “I’ve been through 9/11, I’ve been through Hurricane Irene, Hurricane Sandy,” she said. “I’ve never seen anything like this before.”Become an AD PRO MemberBuy now for unlimited access and all of the benefits that only members get to experience.ArrowThe flower auction houses of the Netherlands, a clearinghouse through which 40% of the world’s flowers pass, are likely feeling the same way. Royal FloraHolland, which manages four massive auction sites that generally inspire more than 100,000 daily transactions, saw activity grind to a disturbing halt in mid-March. As rose prices cratered to $.08 a stem on March 16, the auction firm realized it had no choice but to destroy almost 70% of its usual supply, a process that took a week and a half at its Naaldwijk facility. With once-bustling auction halls all but empty, the company now expects a cumulative loss in the neighborhood of $2 billion.Unsurprisingly, the flower market’s swift collapse has created problems at cultivation sources. Large rose growers like Nini Flowers in Kenya have had to cope with lost sales amid fixed cultivation costs, a situation made even more painful given that staff have had to harvest flowers in order to destroy them. If the situation persists, the estimated 150,000 already struggling workers on ... https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/coronavirus-is-crushing-the-global-flower-market

Ige's reversal halts delivery of Mother's Day flowers - Honolulu Star-Advertiser
Monday, April 27, 2020Hawaii florists are the latest group to be swept into confusion by Gov. David Ige’s administration in response to the new coronavirus.Previously, beachgoers were unsure about whether they could exercise on the beach. Ige’s latest proclamation now says you can.Reece Farinas, sales and marketing director of Beretania Florist, said he was concerned his business could get stuck with thousands of flowers that it cannot sell for Mother’s Day because Ige’s administration has sent confusing messages about whether flower shops can have a business exemption to make contactless deliveries.“A lot of florists, not just us, rely on the revenue from a major holiday like Mother’s Day to operate comfortably and to keep everything going and to have momentum into the summer, which is historically a slower time for retail florists,” Farinas said.He said florists were panicking last week when Mayor Kirk Caldwell extended the stay-at-home order to the end of May. But he became hopeful after hearing news reports th... https://www.staradvertiser.com/2020/04/27/hawaii-news/iges-reversal-halts-delivery-of-mothers-day-flowers/
