The demand has produce aggressively , particularly for sea load with emptiness coolers . Agroideas , for example , is live validation . During the Valentine ’s time of year alone , the tons of flowers processed by their vacuum cooling had a 270 % growth with regard to the wads processed in 2018 . Interestingly , the number of claims was 0 % . " For high season it is in spades an option that will influence exports both in transportation and in final prices " , says General Manager of the company Juan Yazbek .
Growth in lots ship per year ( Valentine season only )
More mail by seaThis class , Ecuador have a growth in the production of flower : it was 1,000 rafts higher , resulting in a total production of 15,000 tons . 494.1 tons - which is 3.3 percent of the entire yield - was shipped by sea , over 2.5 times more than what was shipped in 2018 .

substantive increase to Miami and Los AngelesAgroideas ships flowers to several location in the US , and in comparison to the previous two geezerhood , the quantity of gobs send out to the port of Miami - as a west gateway for many states - and to the port of San Diego - as the east gateway to California - has increase precipitously in the running game - up to Valentine ’s Day . " The amount send out to Miami had a substantive increase and showed a 1076 % increase of market compared to 2018 ( from 24.3 tons to 259.20 dozens in 2019 ) .

part of growth per yr and market ( Valentine ’s time of year only )
No claimsInterestingly , even though the dispatch by ocean increase aggressively , the number in claim received was 0 % , explain Yazkek . " Thanks to the void cooling appendage , the flowers arrived in unadulterated condition to dissimilar destinations , despite the longer transport metre . This contributes to the satisfaction of the final customer and as a result maintains the good characteristics of the Ecuadorian flowers , considered as the practiced of the world . "
undimmed hereafter for marine transportYazbek believes that maritime shipping will keep acquire yr after twelvemonth as it entails many advantages ( see our previously published article on the advantage and disadvantage of ocean freight with vacuum cooling ) . However , he expects the growth to stabilize in the future . " Even though the growth of late geezerhood was aggressive , because it is a unexampled product , for the come days I carry it to be more sustained and stable . For high season it is definitely an alternative that will determine exports both in transportation and in terminal price . "
" Once the sales for Mother ’s Day are over and the result is as successful as the Valentine ’s Day campaign , many exporter in agreement with their node will plan production for the high seasons , making their harvest according to the departure and arrival date in maritime load . "
In plus , there is a tendency of medium and big blossom producer in Ecuador toward opening their own commercial offices in the USA . " sell instantly to their client allows exporter to add note value to their product and in bit increase their profit . And because they ’ve seen or even experience that marine transport is cheaper and honest , it is already see a good choice to reduce costs . "

Improvements needed at US customsAccording to Yazbek , there is one crucial cistron in the transport process that demand to be improved , and that is the lightsomeness at agriculture review in the United States ( CBP ) . " It must improve , but we are working on it : the inspection process of a container of rose wine may take less than an hour . In add-on , the coordination with the local transport companies to send the container to the net customer want to become more flexible . "
Importance of Valentine ’s DayFor the Ecuadorian cultivator , Valentine ’s Day is a very of import day , followed by Mother ’s Day . " Valentine ’s Day exemplify some 25 % of the one-year sale of Ecuadorian flower manufacturer . For mother ’s Day , the volumes are higher , but the prices are not at the same gamy level as for Valentine ’s Day . "
