FlowersExpo in Moscow , Russia , is in full swing .

This company supply blossom and ( outdoor ) set out of their Cash & Carries in Moscow , St - Petersburg and Novosibirks to thousands of florists all over Russia . The beginning of March , sales were still going well , they said , but in the 2d half of March as well as in April the marketplace collapsed .

During the pandemic , they have seen a shift from bloom as a gift item or an detail for events to flowers for personal use . Also , as we see this trend developing worldwide , they see a displacement towards more internet sale . And when looking at the futurity , they do expect this to continue .
These developments were underlined by Henk de Jong of Decorum , and Anna Smerkalova van Podosink also portion out her experience . She grows blush wine in a 9 hour angle greenhouse in the northern Moscow region . In March , the grower was ( luckily ) replanting , she say , which entail that they already had a low production when the quarantine period set out . Even though , they still had to throw aside about 300,000 stems . They commence and increase online sales quickly after . Another " quarantine trouble " they encounter was the lack of workers , which are mainly come from Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan . In the nursery , about 25 per centum of their Job were unoccupied .
Russia is a flower loving country and all in all , we can reason that even this pandemic could not suppress their love for flower . If they are expensive , then so be it , or they will look for cheaper alternatives . At the same clock time , John Elstgeest of Flower Circus portion out his expectation that the local production will increase in the future . Over the last years , the telephone number of rose growers increase in Russia - the ha of blush wine in Russia is now mellow than in the Netherlands - and he expects this growth to proceed . And not only in the pink wine , but in other crop as well .
