KUNMING, May
4 (Xinhua) -- The southwestern province of Yunnan exported
1,712 tons of cut flowers in the first quarter of 2008,
up 19.5 percent year-on-year, a local customs official said.
By value, exports rose 8.9 percent to 4.89 million U.S.
dollars. The province's cut flower exports accounted for
about one fifth of the national total, according to the
official. Yunnan is the largest fresh cut flower production
base in China.
With its mild climate, Yunnan is a paradise for fauna and
flora. Among its floral exports are roses, carnations, orchids
and chrysanthemums. |
