Want to grow flowers in China?

Yunnan Province (which is located in the Southwest of China) is organizing a provincial level agricultural delegation to the Netherlands from 27 - 30 May at the invitation of Province of Zuid-Holland. A promotion meeting about the local agri- and horticulture sector will be hosted in The Hague in the afternoon of 29 May 2017.

Yunnan’s economy has a strong agricultural focus. In particular, Yunnan is very competitive in the fruit and vegetable industries, edible mushrooms, coffee, tea, and dairy products.

The local Yunnan government is fully involved in the growing horticulture sector, creates the best conditions and supports development of the sector. The flower industry in Yunnan province started to develop towards the end of the 1980s. Currently, Yunnan is the most important province nationwide in the field of flower production. Yunnan province accounts for around 60% of China’s total cut flower production. Many Dutch horticultural companies have invested in flower related projects and businesses in this region.

This delegation consisting of 40 provincial policy makers and local entrepreneurs, is the largest ever outbound mission in the field of agri-horticulture from Yunnan Province. Vice-governor Zhang Zulin, who is responsible for agriculture, will lead the delegation.
