IMPACT OF FLOWER GARDENING IN UGANDA.

Roses and, to a lesser extent, chrysanthemum cuttings, carnations, and summer flowers are the cut flowers grown in Uganda. The following are a few ways that the floral industry has assisted Uganda in flourished.
 

First is foreign exchange. The economy of this tiny nation in east Africa heavily relies on foreign cash inflows through agricultural exports such as coffee, cotton, and wildflowers to support the Ugandan shilling.

Second, employment for women. Women perform the tasks of digging, weeding, harvesting, sorting, packing, and labeling flowers. Women were favored over men while picking and sorting flowers because of their gentle hands. However, this choice does not result in equal compensation, protections, or advantages, nor does it put them on a route to leadership. Nevertheless, their payment can help them pay their bills and necessities compared to staying at home—this helps women, primarily single mothers, with their daily living.

Other impacts are a broad-ranging tax base, a contribution to rural stability through providing jobs, incomes, public services, and amenities to hamlets surrounding flower farms, and a contribution to the development of other activities. Contribution to the rise in trust of air carriers and a rise in freight capacity to the benefit of other industries. The adoption of voluntary codes of practice to fulfill customer requirements for environmental management and natural resource conservation, increased competitiveness, better marketing relationships to meet consumer needs, the launching of advanced varieties in anticipation of changes in market preferences, and product testing in terms of product specification, vase life, and presentation.
