Good cooperation within the chainThe strikes are chiefly taking billet in the Savanna of Bogota , where most of the farms are locate . It is move the shipments , but Bazzani is very proud of that the customers , the ones at the airport and airlines are so conjunct . " In the morning we are not having any difficulties and our workers can come safely to the farm . However , the challenge may come in the evening when our trucks go to the airport . Then , the usual dealings jamming , aggregate with the potential blockages on the road may forbid or detain the truck from arriving at the airport . However , as the strikes move around the state , so one twenty-four hours , a farm in the north , for example , might have the challenge of get their product to the farm and the other day a farm in the west . You never roll in the hay . Therefore , I ’m very pleased with the good understanding and support in the chain . If our flowers can not be shipped today , they will be sent another daylight in most of the cases . "
Mother ’s Day time of year not affectedFortunately , the Mother ’s Day season at Plazoleta has not been impress much . " Before the strike started , about 98 pct of our Mother ’s Day orders were already ship out . "
The weather , however , has been more of an issuing , but only in the origin of the season . " Due to the rainy season , the unclouded level in the Savanna were really grim , slow down the production cycle per second . However , suddenly , the sun come and the rainwater stopped , so in the remainder , the impact was very trivial . "
Unexpected in high spirits demandBazzani is very pleased with this year ’s Mother ’s Day season . For Valentine ’s Day , their main securities industry is the US and Canada , but for Mother ’s mean solar day , they ship to much more countries , like Japan , New Zealand , and China , and in all countries , he saw a rise in requirement . " The earthly concern is taking more flowers than ever ! "
Expanding product acreageNot only for this year ’s Mother ’s solar day the requirement has been higher , but it has also been increase steadily since October last year , Bazzani explain . Therefore , they decided to elaborate their alstroemeria land area by 3 ha . " All in all , we are very pleased , not only with the increase in requirement , but also with our multitude - fortunately , they all stayed sizeable - and our production . Even in the midst of the pandemic , we decide not to turn off back . "
