Starting a Flower Shop business in the Philippines?
The Phil. Dept of Agriculture has a good industry overview of the cutflower industry http://www.da.gov.ph/agribiz/cutflower.h... . This FAO document http://www.fao.org/docrep/005/ac452e/ac4... also discusses flower production in the Philippines, including a table of where the various types of flowers are best sourced.



For assistance, including floral suppliers, you may want to contact DA's Agribusiness and Marketing Assistance Service
