Touring Ecuador's rose industry

摘要

At first, I shuddered when we saw the quality, quan-tity and expansion of the cut rose industry in Ecuador, They are very good and definitely getting bigger and so will be formidable competitors as suppliers to the floriculture market in Canada. One of the farms visited had more than three times the acreage of roses of all Ontario, so how do we compete and what have we learned. We should not be like some of the US grower organizations who tried to prevent their entry into the market When the "unfaircompetition" argument recently went before the US, courts, it was defeated, as was the appeal.
