七博会:花开兴市

7th China Flower Expo Promises Broader Market

近十多年来，世界花卉业以年平均25％的速度增长，远远超过世界经济发展的平均速度，是世界上最具有活力的产业之一，目前在中国，鉴于花卉业的显著增长，花卉业已经是人所共知的“朝阳产业”。在此种情况下，第七届中国花卉博览会的召开意义更显得尤为重要。

The 7th China Flower Expo was held in Beijing and Weifang City of Shandong Province from September 26 to October 5,2009.More than 1,300 famous flower enterprises at home and abroad participated and brought over 200,000 exhibits.Over 1.8 million visitors came to the expo and it brought over 1 billion yuan of tourist income to Shunyi District,Beijing.In fact,the expo not only bridges a platform between consumers and exhibitors,but also provides good opportunity for future development of the flower market.Currently,China's flower circulation system lags far behind,and its single form of trade market can hardly meet the increasing market demand.Different levels of consumption demand calls for different operating forms,such as flower trade market,flower & garden center,and flower supermarket.For example,the flower & garden center is now emerging as a new operating form,for which the Century O'Bridge Garden Center opened in May this year provides a practical example.
