'Private and Open Stock' - Bedding and Balcony Plants

摘要

"We add a new plant every year", says Ariel Peles, product manager, who is directing the activities towards finding new ornamental plants. Agrexco with its Carmel brand name has expanded its plant range massively, according to their own reports. German exports are growing by 5 to 10% annually. The well functioning logistics system, reaching to the end customer in some cases, is, according to Peles, the real key to the steady growth in exports. Bedding and balcony plants are the main products here. Afurther focal point are potted plant specialities like Mandevilla, as well as Mediterranean and Australian plants. These are sold through a Dutch subsidiary called Carmexco. As far as the Mediterranean or Australian container plants are concerned, customers need to know the following: Most varieties are not suitable as perennial indoor plants. They are more, like Citrus for example, conservatory plants which in spring slowly have to get used to the open air.
