In photos: Carnations, chrysanthemums and roses... Colombia Pavilion wraps up a floral week at Expo 2020 Dubai

Colombia, known for its rich biodiversity, celebrated Flowers Week at Expo 2020 Dubai from November 7 to 11. The country, home to over a thousand distinct species of flowers, encourages tourists to enjoy the beauty of diverse Colombian flowers displayed at the country's pavilion as part of its efforts to promote its strong flower market production.

Of the thousands of flowers in Colombia, their roses, carnations, and chrysanthemums are known to be distinct and are given an ‘origin seal’, a certification given guaranteeing their unique variety, color and quality.

The week-long event also provided visitors and interested parties an opportunity to participate in roundtable discussions and business meetings regarding the blooming flower industry.

Asocolflores (Association of Colombian Flower Exporters), which represents flower farmers who manage nearly 75 per cent of the country's total exports, accompanied the Colombian national government as it seeks to advance the sector and strengthen trade relations with the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia (MENASA) region.
