Who are the real decision makers in the
flower seed industry nowadays?
the greenhouse or bedding plant growers? the distribution
channels? the consumers?
This is a very
good question.
I
believe we are in a transitional phase, and nobody is really
sure who is most important at this stage.
For many years,
it has been the grower who made the major decisions on
varieties, but that is now being done more and more by either
the distributor who has a vested interest in a particular set
of varieties, or by the big retailers who are putting together
programs for their stores.
