Poland

摘要

Poland is one of the few European countries which has seen continuous economic growth over the past 26 years. After the fall of communism in 1989, the country quickly westernised and transformed its economy to capitalism. Present-day Poland still looks promising among emerging European markets, though it faces particular challenges that make it difficult for its ornamental horticulture industry to sustain economic growth. These challenges include rising energy costs, a recruitment shortage and waning interest in ornamentals among the younger generation (specifically in cut flowers).
