The role of water in floriculture

Flowers need water for growing. The growers get the water from rain, witch they store in big water reservation. The growers can’t use the water directly. First they have to clear the water. After that nutrient will be added to the water so the flowers will grow very good.

The flower auction

How do the growers sell their products?

The growers are together in a organisation to protect their market. This is because the price they will get for their products will get under the minimum price. This is a price the growers made. Otherwise the growers will get a price what’s lower as the costs they have made to make their products.
