In order to comply with the quality standards in the international market and product specifications set by the importers, all export companies are operating their own production facilities. Having own supply base will pave the way to win the confidence of buyers by ensuring the continuous supply capability.
In some product areas such as decorative leaves, exporters have arranged out grower systems by extending the technical knowhow on production and quality control.
Technology
The floriculture industry is applying advanced technology. Floriculture products are cultivated in poly houses or shade houses according to the shade requirement of the plant/flower type under necessary micro climatic conditions. In cut flower production, high quality new hybrid varieties imported from overseas countries are used as mother plants. Both native and exotic mother plants are used for the production of foliage plants and decorative leaves. Sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation systems are used for irrigation. Pest and disease control is done under the supervision of National Plant Quarantive Service under the Department of Agriculture. Quality controlling is done by trained nurserymen. |
