Poland: Take a look behind the scenes at JMP Flowers

Roses, anthuriums and orchids. They are all being cultivated in the modern 15 ha greenhouse of JMP Flowers in Poland. The company was founded in 1977 and flowers have been cultivated by the Ptaszek family for four generations. In this six minute video below, they provide a look behind the scenes and more information about the cultivation process of their crops, the techniques and the post harvest treatment they utilize to enhance the quality of the product.

The orchids are grown on an area of about 6 ha, anthuriums on 3.2 ha and roses on about 5.7 ha.

Supplying a high quality plant is one of JMP's main priorities. Over the years, they invested in several greenhouse technologies. Their greenhouse is, for example, equipped with climatic and fertilizing computers, shade and energy curtains, high pressure airspray, roof sprinkler systems and plant watering systems. And the use of technology goes all the way through packaging and transportation. JMP was one of the first Polish companies that employed robots for the automatic sorting and packing of roses.

In order to maintain a fresh product with a long vaselife all the way to the end-consumer, JMP Flowers decided to set up their own shipment fleet and sales points at many floral markets in Poland and abroad. Owing to this, flowers are being delivered directly from the producer to florists and wholesale customers within a period of 48 hours from the cut till vase.
