  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE 15th April 2014 AIPH Spring Meeting debates global ornamental plant trade and environmental challenges Representatives from organisations representing growers of ornamental horticultural crops met in London, UK on 2nd April to share information and ideas that will strengthen the position of the sector in the future. During the Spring Meeting of the International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) most countries reported difficult trading conditions throughout 2013 but there is optimism for improvement for 2014. Poor weather throughout Europe last year hit producers but better weather and an improvement in the economic conditions for many countries is responsible for a better outlook. Productivity improvements are a focus of attention in Asian countries with the need to make efficiencies and improve systems to drive up profit margins. Price pressure seems to be less of an issue for the landscape supply industry in Japan where there is a shortage of many plants as the country replants after the earthquake and prepares for the Olympics. Within the AIPH Environment and Plant Health Committee members discussed the varying attitudes, by different countries, to the environmental arguments around the use of peat in growing media. Dr Chris Hartfield from the UK’s National Farmers’ Union presented the work done by industry to work with policy makers in the UK and the current position where the industry is defining and working towards sustainable growing media whether it is peat-based or not. Delegates from The Netherlands introduced the Responsibly Produced Peat initiative which facilitates the ongoing use of peat but only from sources with minimal environmental impact.

  • Exhibitions Committee, Beijing, 9Th September 2019 Annex 12 - Exhibitions Committee Report
    AIPH Exhibitions Committee, Beijing, 9th September 2019 Annex 12 - Exhibitions Committee Report Exhibitions Report: April to August 2019 Summary Since the Meeting in Noordwijk there has been the Closing of the 2018 Taichung World Flora Expo and the Opening of Expo 2019 Beijing, both attended by AIPH delegations with exposure to millions. The opening of Expo 2019 Beijing was in the presence of President Xi Jinping and a number of world leaders. A site inspection was carried out in Yokohama (Japan) in anticipation of their formal application to host an A1 World Horticultural Expo in 2027. Other AIPH-approved events that have taken place in this period include Floralies Internationales Nantes (France) and Greentech (Netherlands). Work has been underway in revising the Regulations for International Horticultural Exhibitions. Section 1 – Exhibitions 1.1 Taichung - Taichung World Flora Exposition 2018/19 (A2/B1) This expo attracted 7.2 million visitors between November 2018 and April 2019 and was deemed a successful event, receiving high levels of media promotion in the region. The Closing Ceremony took place on 24 April and included speeches from AIPH President, Bernard Oosterom and the new and former mayors of the city. The Mayor changed in December, shortly after the start of the Expo. The AIPH Prize was won by the Netherlands for its promotion of Green City principles. See http://aiph.org/aiph_new/aiph-award-goes-to-the-netherlands-at-closing-of-2018-taichung- world-flora-expo/. The AIPH/COA garden, designed by Nilufer Danis, was very popular with visitors and achieved its objectives.
