Abstract

O presente artigo, com base em uma pesquisa bibliográfica, traça um panorama do agronegócio de flores e plantas ornamentais no Brasil. Ressalta os principais aspectos do setor como produção, mercado consumidor e dificuldades. A floricultura vem se expandindo consideravelmente, antes restrita a região Sudeste, principalmente no Estado de São Paulo, hoje se encontra em todas as regiões do País, graças ao trabalho de diversas Instituições que acreditam no potencial desse segmento. Um dos aspectos que contribui para a expansão são as condições climáticas do Brasil que favorece o cultivo de flores de clima temperado e tropical. Em função dessa diversidade climática é possível produzir internamente flores, folhagens e outros derivados, todos os dias do ano a um custo reduzido. O agronegócio de flores e plantas ornamentais consolida-se como atividade econômica representativa na economia brasileira. O potencial de geração de ocupação e renda desse setor é significativo, destaca-se por empregar em média, de 10 a 15 funcionários por hectare, superando em dez vezes outros cultivos e gera 120 mil empregos diretos e indiretos. Apesar do grande potencial da floricultura, a consolidação desse setor depende de medidas para ampliar o hábito de consumo de flores pelos brasileiros e melhoria na infra-estrutura logística. --------------------------------------------The present article, on a bibliographical search basis, traces an ornamental flowers agribusiness panorama in Brazil.
