I teach a course on the globalization of horticultural crops and would like to get some recent data on the production and exports of potted orchids (cannot find much on the web). Is there a recent source for such data?
The recent low cost and high availability of potted orchids implies that potted orchids are imported into the US at a relatively low price and in big numbers. Are they imported as young tissue culture plants?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!
