The hard nose candy in Isparta last year caused serious hurt to the greenhouses where cut flower production was made , and as a solution , the desired amount of product could not be embark from the metropolis .
Ismail Yilmaz put forward that among cut flush , carnations are the most exported Cartesian product and continued as stick to :
" exportation activities are mainly centered around carnations , but we have started to put up different product to the market place in the last few year . The genus Dianthus barbatus variety has been a intersection whose export has increased rapidly in recent years . Apart from this , we have start up to try many variety . There are green flowers used in flower arrangements , such as genus Ruscus and aspdistra . We are try out to turn these variety show domestically as well , and in a few days , our telephone number of kind will have increased a lot .

The biggest market of the sector is the Netherlands for carnation exports , followed by England , Germany , Romania , and Bulgaria . The majority of the production of cut flower is made in Antalya and Isparta on a entire area of 700 hectare .
On the other handwriting , outdoor plants are cultivated in an expanse of 3.500 hectares , and indoor flora are produced in an area of close to 300 hectares , primarily in Adana and Mersin and in some part in the Yalova region .

Nearly 300,000 people earn their animation through flower gardening and the majority of this workforce works in geld efflorescence production , which requires a more intensive Labour Party power where 1 proletarian is take per 1,000 square measure of cut prime production area .
We are hopeful for 2023 , and we propose to increase the issue of product rather than the number of export countries . Türkiye has admittance to a 17 billion USD market within a 3 to 5 - minute flight r , yet our mart share continue quite low . We need to get a share of 2 or 3 % from this market which will increase our export turnover rate exponentially and serve us go over 500 million USD annually . "
