Dalat flower auction floor: Continuous power

Commenting on the limitations in the flower growing industry in Da Lat, the Dutch expert pointed out: "Most farms have a small area (less than 1 ha), low technology level such as lack of harvesting and inspection systems. temperature control, automatic watering and fertilization. Plastic greenhouses are not regularly replaced ".

Mr. Tiegelaar said that farmers in Dalat choose the crops themselves and plan the harvest time based on the times of market with high demand such as holidays, full moon days, Tet holidays due to lack of information about market demand. .

In addition, Da Lat farmers overused pesticides but did not apply integrated pest management methods, or plant biology.

At the post-harvest stage, farmers do not have a standard flower classification process (growers evaluate flowers according to their own experience), cut flowers are placed right under the garden floor, on the floor, not transported or packed. Not being cared for, flowers are not preserved in cold storage ... are the points where he feels "sorry" for the Dalat flower industry.

Near the end of March, guiding our press team to visit the World Cultivation Center, which researches knowledge - creativity in agriculture and is the pride of the Netherlands, Mr. Tiegelaar talked about flowers as talking about people:

"In my impression, what Da Lat flowers had to go through was terrible. Loss, vitality and quality loss occurred at these stages, while the value of the product should have been increased. through each stage ".
