2020 – a challenging yearIn the middle of March 2020 , there was zero strain load from Nairobi to Norway , so at that clock time getting the Kenyan flowers to Oslo was the bountiful challenge , explains Lindberg . After two calendar month of shipping their Kenyan flowers by truck from the Netherlands to Norway , the airfreight started up in May 2020 , just in time for the nation ’s National Holiday solemnisation on May 17 . Since then , their volumes were nearly at the same floor as the old yr , but due to the high payload price and weak Norse krone , margins were still lower than last year . However , all in all Lindberg was quite proud of with the year . " Fortunately , Norway is a blossom loving country and when look at other countries , it could have been much worse . "
2021 so farNow , one twelvemonth later , Lindberg is still satisfied and feels lucky . " Comparing to other business enterprise , like restaurants , BAR , gyms and many garden core and florists , who had to close their doors again due to another lockdown , we have still been able to go along our business as we supply supermarkets . as luck would have it , we are not have any logistical issue either anymore and sales have hold up up . "
As cite before , Norway is a very flower - loving country – it is one of the high flower ingest countries in Europe – buying roses and other peak for their own consumption . Like many other country , the demand for flowers gain for particular holidays like Valentine ’s Day , Father ’s Day , Mother ’s Day and national holidays " , says Lindberg . yearly , Svein Nesse AS imports approximately 20 million blossom and 15 percent of this loudness is peculiarly used for these kind of holiday .
Their most late vacation was National Constitution Day , celebrated May 17th and agree to Lindberg , it has been a very successful holiday . " For this holiday , we see a mickle of red , white and blue-blooded arrangements and often after the holiday you see several leftfield in the store , but not this year . I think this is also because of the fact that many hoi polloi bide at nursing home this class – unremarkably many people go out and keep in the street . "
come monthsSo how will the come months look like ? " After May 17th , we are heading into the “ low time of year ” and this year , the requirement may be low . Usually , when the schools are conclude , which will be on June 18th this yr , pupil often give flowers to their instructor . However , as class have been online this yr , this tradition may not be apply in the same extent that it has been before . The simplification in total big weddings may also impress the amount of flowers sold in the issue forth months . "
However , most people will stay home this yr , which may increase sales . " We are allowed to leave the country , but if we come back , we necessitate to go into quarantine , therefore , I require many people to stay on home and trust they will brighten up their homes with flowers . "
The humbled time of year ordinarily runs till the end of August when the demand will part to pick up again .
