Floriculture
Sales represent both retail and wholesale quantities sold in the calendar year shown. Flowers, plants, or materials purchased from others for immediate resale are excluded. Potted flowering plants and foliage plants purchased, but held less than four weeks are excluded. All data for foliage and potted flowering plants represent only those grown for indoor or patio use. Value data for cut flower, total foliage for indoor or patio use, and potted flowering crops are on a "gross wholesale" basis, before deductions for sales commissions or transportation costs. Value of sales at wholesale is an equivalent value calculated by applying the average wholesale price to total units sold.
The 2003 wholesale value of all sales in Missouri for commercial growers with $10,000 or more of gross sales for the selected floriculture crops surveyed totaled $44.6 million, down almost 12 percent from 2002. Operations with $100,000 or more in gross sales reported sales of potted flowering plants at $9.9 million, which were also down almost 12 percent from the previous year’s total. Sales of bedding and garden plants, at $24.2 million, were down 9 percent from 2002.
