Billion Dollar Flower Market | Business Documentary from 2016
The Flower industry is a billionaire global business. The Netherlands is the world’s most advanced flower producer and controls the market. Nearly all of the flowers that the United Kingdom buy are from abroad and it’s the Dutch. But there’s a chink in the Dutch armour and the Brits are fighting back. This documentary follows florist Geoff, who learned Dutch and buys directly at the flower auctions in Holland, passing on savings to his loyal customers back home. We meet a new generation of British florists including 21-year-old Jay, whose new business is booming because of a dedication to using quirky homegrown British buds for her luscious event displays. Florists like Jay are even helping keep the world famous flower market Covent Garden in cheeky rude health. And it’s not only them. Our high street supermarket giants have realized growing business opportunities, spotting how to encourage shoppers to fill their trollies with homegrown Sweet Williams sourced from local super grower Mark. And we reveal just how florist Rob did it to create his huge flower display outside London’s National Portrait Gallery. Our own humble British flowers and enterprising British florists are on a roll, the Dutch aren’t having it all their own way.

flowers are beautiful in its natural surrounding until humans decided to cut them and put in their homes where the flowers die within 24 hrs….
why would u spend so much $$$ just to watch beautiful flowers die in your home??
and then toss 'em in the garbage truck???
Would love to look around the Dutch warehouse! ❤️

Manipulating nature with supernatural growing conditions in order to satisfy a customer who will appreciate the ending result for about 2 weeks to one month as best. I mean, the Netherlands have always been pioneers in this business as far as I remember from childhood but it's fantastic to see the British market biting back.
I wonder what the American market is like….
Silent trade war of flowers between Dutch and British ! Very interesting documentary.
Fantastic documentary! Thanks for creating it and sharing. <3
สวัสดีครับ ดอกไม้สวยมากๆเลยครับ

The tulips that were destroyed by those machines was horrible to see.Just because it’s for a reason and then you drive to get rid of the beaitiful rows of tulips is so disturbing.
Flowers are for decorations not for food.
Why the poor countries produce fresh flowers for rich countries,not produce grains for his poor peoples.
