Flowers a cut above the rest

20.05.12

St Valentine’s Day next week offers the biggest one-day bonanza for those who would like you to say it with flowers. Last year the number purchased fell by nearly a third due to a general tightening of purse strings. Even so, 2.3 million bunches of flowers were sold and they remain the most popular gift for women.

The price of roses is predicted to have risen four-fold by next Tuesday, giving a further boost to the overall value of the Valentine’s Day market which is expected to be over £200m this year.

Most of these flowers are sold through supermarkets who import them from places like Ecuador, Israel, Florida and Malaysia. But the biggest exporters to us are Colombia – which ships them in specially chartered aircraft out of Bogota – and Kenya.

Over the course of a year the size of the UK cut flower market is staggering – something in excess of £2bn. The received wisdom has been that the environmental impact of this is broadly neutral. To set against a heavy carbon footprint left by bringing the flowers halfway round the world by air in a British winter is the fact that they have not had to be grown in heated greenhouses.
