Tariffs threaten Colombian flower industry amid Valentine’s Day rush

Colombia, which trails only the Netherlands in global exports, shipped approximately 65,000 tons of fresh-cut blooms between January 15 and February 9. The Valentine’s Day season typically accounts for 20% of annual sales for a sector that serves as the primary supplier to the US market, according to industry group Asocolflores.

But the holiday rush is being overshadowed by a 10% US tariff imposed last April as part of President Donald Trump’s broader trade measures. The US accounts for about 80% of Colombia’s flower exports.
