Exportable flowers in the local market

Hayleys Agriculture have begun developing cut flowers and horticultural plants, normally exported, for the local market. The group says it can now double production at its 18 hectare facility to supply local enthusiasts and has begun appointing distributors and agents for this purpose. “We can increase production to 100,000 flowers a month whenever we want to,” said Rizvi Zaheed, Managing Director of Hayleys Agriculture. Picture (sent by the company) shows colourful blooms in greenhouses at Hayleys’ Boralanda facility.
