聚集情人节:哥伦比亚鲜花出口成难事

来源:CNTV 编辑:mike   可可英语APP下载 |  可可官方微信:ikekenet

Colombia exports 450 million flowers for Saint Valentine's Day, but this year, farmers are voicing concern over a potential fall in international demand due to the global economic crisis and bad weather.
Colombian flower farmers say around 12 percent of their sales come from February 14th alone and most of this comes from the U.S. market.
The industry generates 180 thousand jobs. Many temporary workers are taken on for this peak period, with all working hard to meet the demand. But unfavorable exchange rates and heavy snowfall in North America could complicate Colombia's situation.
Colombia's market has previously been hit by changing demands in U.S. and bad frosts in both countries.
哥伦比亚通常会向全球出口大量鲜花以应对情人节,但今年,由于全球经济危机和坏天气影响,农民们对于国际需求下降表示担心。
