Valentine's Day has led to an increase in red rose prices due to the intensity of special orders. In Antalya, where a large portion of Turkey's production is met, the price per rose produced in greenhouses rose from 10 liras to 20 liras in January. Due to the demand for Valentine's Day, this price is being sold at 5 times that amount at florists.
ANTALYA, THE CENTER OF RED ROSES
More than half of the red roses produced on 400 decares of land across the country are grown in greenhouses in Antalya. During this period of high demand, the increase in the price per rose produced in the greenhouse determines the price that reaches consumers at florists. As February 14 Valentine's Day approaches, the workload at florists continues to increase.
