South
Africa’s proposed increase in flower exports to favor the
logistics sector
|
|
South Africa’s
Department of Trade and Industry invited selected
international buyers from Dubai, Oman, Bahrain and Egypt
on an "inward buying mission" for the Gardenex
& Growtech floriculture exhibition in Johannesburg.
According to Ms Louw, the organizer of the event, these
buyers are looking at all the aspects of the industry.
This constitutes a powerful tool for the green industry
to boost international trade and attracts possible
investment for the industry. The current demand of 80
tons of flowers to Dubai every week can increase to 240
tons three times a week to meet the demand of the
proposed horticultural distribution center in Dubai.
