World Fruit & Vegetable Show 2010

                           
ExCeL London 27th and 28th October 2010.


The World Fruit & Vegetable Show is an international trade exhibition, targeted at a very specific sector of the market, which is focused on the fruit, vegetable and flower industry. However, it is not just for buyers, producers and exporters of produce, it is also for any associated product or industry, such as packaging, labelling or transportation.

The number of exhibitors and visitors grew last year, despite the poor trading environment due to the world recession. Most importantly, both exhibitors and visitors found new and useful business contacts, which later developed into actual orders and trade.

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 05:09:00 -0700 HortiNews - UK Market for Flowers & Indoor Plants worth 2.2billion - www.Hortitrends.com http://florists.posterous.com/hortinews-uk-market-for-flowers-and-indoor-pl http://florists.posterous.com/hortinews-uk-market-for-flowers-and-indoor-pl

Overall UK Industry Size

The UK fresh cut flower and indoor plant market is worth £2.2 billion at retail level. To put this in perspective, the UK music industry is worth around £2 billion.

This represents an average spend per person per year of £36 (£28 on flowers and £8 on plants).

While this is a good increase from the 1984 value of £8 per person, it still comes nowhere near the rest of Europe, where people regularly spend £60-£100 per year on cut flowers and indoor plants.

In the UK we spend £9 on cut flowers for every £1 we spend on indoor plants. This may be because most people in the UK have gardens and so spend more on outdoor plants; or it may be because the British like to hang on to their houseplants when they are past their best, instead of treating them as a disposable item to be enjoyed and then discarded, like fresh flowers.

Around 60% of the £2.2 billion spent represents people buying flowers and plants for themselves, for their own homes. Even five years ago, most people in the UK only bought flowers for special occasions like weddings and anniversaries, and may have bought a pot plant when visiting someone. Now, we all realise the beauty of having fresh flowers and plants around our homes, workplaces and public places. Why should they be saved for special occasions only?
