Japanese seek flowers
PA Wellington New Zealand should promote itself as an off-season producer of high-quality flowers, a Japanese horticultural delegation has said. Promotion and quality control were important factors for New Zealand flower growers aiming at the Japanese market, the delegration told a press conference. It said that New Zealand’s promotion of its produce was very highly regarded, and this was the area in which growers
should concentrate. One of the most important areas of quality control was quarantine control, and control of pests and diseases by spraying at regular intervals was a priority in the market. “Your best growers are as good as the best Japanese growers, but there is a lot of difference between the quality level of many of the other growers,” it said. Orchids and proteas were the most preferred flowers, but there was a lot of room on the Japanese market for New Zealand to promote other flowers.
