Exciting news … Britain’s hidden £30m flower farming industry gets official recognition!!
The UK’s flower farming industry has, until now, been invisible, absorbed into the catch-all figures of broader agriculture, its contribution uncounted, its flower growers unrecognised.
Flowers From The Farm, the trade body representing over a thousand British flower growers, has been awarded dedicated Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes, the formal economic identifiers that allow a sector to exist, officially, in the eyes of
government, funders and policymakers.
An industry of women, land and wildlife
Eight in ten members of Flowers from the Farm are women. In the UN International Year of the Woman Farmer, the recognition is particularly resonant!!
