Director General of Horticulture at the Ministry of Agriculture, Suwandi paid a visit to the Ornamental Crops Research Institute (BALITHI) of Ministry of Agriculture, in Cipanas and several locations for seed and flower nurseries in Cianjur Regency, West Java, Sunday (9/2/2018).

Some have been exported even though the amount is still small, around 2.4 tons in 2017, he said.
