The production of '''cut flowers''' is increasing in the [[developing countries]] where [[occupational hazard]]s from [[pesticide]]s and otherwise poor working conditions and wages are common. The estimated [[value]] of flower production of the world (both cut and uncut) is estimated at 60 billion οΏ½ (euros). Flower production [[employs]] approx. 200.000 people in developing countries, but 90% of the total revenue is paid to [[companies]] in [[developed countries]]. Often the farms where flowers are produced are owned by [[American]] or [[Europe]]an companies. Majority of the flowers sold in [[Europe]] are traded at the [[Netherlands]]' gigantic flower auctions that effectively determine the international price of cut flowers all year long. [[Fair Flowers and Fair Plants]]-[[label]] is governed by [[Union Fleurs]] and the now defunct Flower Label Program [[Fairly traded]] flowers are already available in some stores in the [[UK]] and [[Switzerland]]
