Looking back at the second part of October 2024, the global flower industry has witnessed several groundbreaking developments, signaling a transformative shift in how flowers are grown, traded, and consumed. Among the most notable advancements is the potential of Liege Airport (LGG) to become Europe's largest air cargo flower hub, which could significantly enhance the flow of flowers across continents. New partnerships, such as Jet Fresh Flower Growers' strategic alliance as an Authorized VIP Rose Producer for North America and the Caribbean, reflect the growing globalization of the floral trade. Additionally, innovative breakthroughs in plant breeding, including Morel's introduction of the double-flowered Cyclamen, are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in floriculture. As the industry adapts to new challenges, sustainability efforts like Denis-Plants' transition to peat-free substrates and Viking Roses' expansion into Colombia exemplify the sector's commitment to eco-conscious practices. But of course, more happened, below an overview.
