다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Most of flower production in Korea today is for domestic comsumption. Flower production in Korea has increased almost 10% annually. While 3.5million dollars worth of flowers was exported from Korea, the annual amount of Korea flower imports has run up to approximately five times more than those of the export in the year of 1992.
The objective of this report is to ascertain some potentiality of successful flori-cultural export from Korea in the future, through revealing and assessing the available statistics relevant to the world trade of flowers.

1.Due to the favourable environmental conditions for the production of bulbous ornamentals, today Holland has shared 73.3% of the world export. Holland is of a country which has developed high level of technology in the flower production, and also expanded production of flowers through cooperative plantation system in foreign countries such as Kenya and Zimbabwe, etc. These African countries have very suitable climate and low wage conditions for the cut flower production. Israel is also with naturally favourable climate of growing good quality of cut flowers during the cold season of EC countries. It is exporting carnations, chrysanthemums, statices and gypsophilas. It has also location advantage of short distance required only four-hour flying to EC countries.

2.With comparatively short distance of four-hour flying to the USA, Colombia is currently the next outstanding country in flower export. The species of flowers being exported, cut flowers of carnation, chrysanthemum and rose, etc., that are to be produced around the whole year. Approximately 70% of the total cut flowers being imported to the USA comes from Colombia. Colombia has advantage in the production under lower production costs owing to the favourable climatic conditions and low wage rate(i.e., $120 to 150 for a person per month work at farms ).

3.Noteworthy quantity of orchid "Denphalae" from Thailand is exporting to Japan. Orchids are the items of high price and very esthetic with its nature of sustaining good quality during the freight, and with high preference among Japanese people. In fact that cattleya orchid is imported from Singapore and cymbidium orchid from New Zealand into Japan imply that there may be some possibility of developing these items for exporting the commodity from Korea to Japan. In this regard, the production system in large size with locational specialization for joint operation is considered to be necessary in Korea today.

4.Japan can be considered to be new strategic export market for orchid cut flowers, because we have some advantage such as distance in the location and different growing season in contrast to New Zealand and Holland that are currently the largest cymbidium orchid exporting country to Japan.
