Usually at this time of the year growers prepare for the flowering season, to the contrary this year, millions of flowers a day are being destroyed as the coronavirus wilts flower sales all around the world.
The bright coloured blooms that are desired for hotel lobbies, offices, events and weddings are now being scooped up and thrown away, which will aid to create compost. Even if the flowers aren’t going to total waste, the floral industry is still facing many repercussions with a total of 80% of the flower production is being destroyed.
The Dutch auction has existed for more than a hundred years, but this is the first time that a pandemic has had such a gruesome impact on the floral industry.
“I have anticipated this just like other fellow florists; sales had to decline due to cancellation and postponements of weddings and events amongst others. I simply have never imagined that it would lead to millions of destroyed flowers every day.”

How sad seeing all those flowers die like that, can’t they be reused or given out?
They are now using the flowers to create compost, which will really help nature 🙂
They can always give to people who needs them like hospitals, nursing homes or simply distribute them!
They’re not giving the flowers to such causes because at the moment due to covid-19 they’re trying to minimise cost and unfortunately giving them out for free would increase costs. Now they’re reusing it do compost for the next flower crop, which is very good to hear.
