The Flemish flower gardening overall is rise according to the Boerenbond inan interim evaluation for the first seven months of 2019 , but the different partition of the sphere bear witness varying consequence .
FloricultureIn floriculture , in which the tree diagram nursery sector agnise 60 % of the Flemish one-year turnover and the decorative plant growers 40 % , show varying results .
In the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree baby’s room sector the acreage remains unchanged . The number of trees produced and sold decreased due to the drought and the production shortage of source . The decrease in yield is count on at 5 % . There was , however , a Leontyne Price gain of about 5 % , as a resultant of which the turnover remains more or less stable .
The Boerenbond run into various ontogeny between the subsectors in the floriculture sphere . In the sphere of fleeceable works in 2019 , there is both a production growth and a price increment which increase the overall turnover rate . The demand is presently nifty than the supply . As a outcome , prices are somewhat on the salary increase .
The production of bulbs and tubers experienced an increase in 2019 compared to 2018 by around 5 % . Because of the heat , the take is low-toned than normal , but still high than in 2018 . Begonias are the main medulla oblongata cultivation in Flanders .
The produce quantities for cut efflorescence remained the same compared to 2018 , while prices fell by about 15 % . For example , the price for gillyflower fell by 5 % , while the prices of the rosebush had to deal with a declination of 15 % . We have to wait and see what the autumn of 2019 will convey .
There are very unlike signals for flowering plants . Overall , a thin cost increment ( +3 % ) is assumed , while the produced quantities are expected to lessen slightly ( - 2%).CostsWhile income does not increase everywhere , the costs do increase . Among other things , the Boerenbond reflect on the toll of labor . The wages give to employees in agriculture and horticulture present 10 % of the verbatim costs . For 2019 , the estimate is that labor movement monetary value will increase by 1.8 % ( approximate rising prices ) . This is an estimate since a material part of the work take place in the third one-quarter . In the past menses , it has also been establish that working class shortages lead to rising wage monetary value . The latter , however , is not include in the digit .
It is true that the weight of the paid pay costs alter greatly between the subsectors . For example , horticulture , in fussy , swear in the main on outwardly paid British Labour Party where , depending on the cultivation , salary monetary value can take up to 30 % of the total costs .
Energy price , accounting for 8 % of total direct cost , experience a static trend in the first 8 month of 2019 compared to the same full point in 2018 . Electricity prices recorded a modified increase , while gaseous state prices fell slightly . It is important that Farmer and growers cover to focus on their own ( dark-green ) push production via CHP and solar panels .
The amount of used plant protection products , viewed across all agrarian and horticultural sector , rise by 2 % in 2019 compared to 2018 . The disease insistence in 2019 was slenderly eminent than in the juiceless yr 2018 . In 2019 , the prices of flora aegis products climb up by about 2 % . Plant protection ware make up 3.5 % of the total lineal costs . The Boerenbond has established that continuously fewer crop auspices agents are countenance and that at the same time the alternative are well more expensive . All agricultural and horticultural sector combinedFor 2019 , an ' average year ' with ' magnanimous variation ' is reported . There is some recuperation equate to a difficult and teetotal 2018 . A sphere - wide estimated employee turnover of 5.3 billion euros is immortalise .
In the period 2009 - 2019 , the employee turnover of Flemish agriculture and horticulture increase by 16 % , while the direct cost ( ie boot out own lying-in and secure price ) increased by 19 % . This mean that overall margins in the farming and horticultural sector are under imperativeness . The ratio between gross revenue and direct price in 2019 is at the same degree as in 2009 . At the same fourth dimension , the Boerenbond notes that the margins over the retiring 10 years have been particularly volatile . " It stay on a sad finis that the Flemish agrarian and horticultural sector is not able to quickly pass on the rising costs to the next link in the strand . exactly because of that , pressure on the margin continues . "
