The International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) hosted its General Meeting during the AIPH Spring Meeting in the Expo 2023 Doha Qatar Congress Centre on 6 March.
As the world's champion for the power of plants, AIPH has been supporting grower associations since 1948. AIPH Members are grower associations and trade organizations representing the interests of ornamental horticulture in their respective countries.
The ornamental horticulture industry is crucial to providing green solutions for combating global climate change. The power of a larger association like AIPH in bringing together and amplifying the voices of these associations is the reason for the increasing worldwide Membership.
During the General Meeting, Members voted on three new applications for Full Membership. The international applications were approved for the Dutch Flower Auctions Association, Vereniging van Bloemenveilingen — VBN (representing Royal FloraHolland and Plantion), the Horticultural Association of Bhutan, and Kenya Flower Council.
The Members also welcomed five new Affiliate Members. This Membership is available to any business or organization involved in ornamental horticulture or has a vested interest in the industry.
The newly approved Affiliate Members are Beekenkamp Plants, Netherlands; the Gulf Organisation of Research & Development – GORD, Qatar; Korea Flower Park, Republic of Korea, Verticalle, Türkiye; and World Green Infrastructure Network – WGIN, Slovenia.
AIPH President Leonardo Capitanio said, "It is great to be part of a growing association. As more and more organizations join us, we become even stronger in promoting and supporting this important industry on the world stage."
