The harvest at a cut flower farm

Rionegro, Antioquia, Colombia – March 2024

Colombian farm workers pick up (chrysanthemum and/or snapdragon) flowers at a cut flower farm in Rionegro, Antioquia, Colombia. Colombia is one of the largest exporters of cut flowers globally, with approximately 80% of its production destined for the U.S. market. The year-round consistent climate at high altitudes and the use of modern technologies ensure high quality and longevity in flowers grown on Colombian plateaus. Along with low labor costs and logistical proximity, these factors make Colombia’s cut flower production highly competitive in the U.S. market.
