Kate Humble has been exploring some of the biggest flower farms in China.

In the far south of the country, lies Kunming, China’s Spring City. Its warm and temperate climate has made this city the center of flower industry.

Kunming and the surrounding area supply 70% of all the flowers sold in China. I have come to one of the largest flower farms in this area – Jin Yuan.

It’s amazing, I like it. I have never seen anything like it. Well it’s more like a factory than a farm. Every single thing grown here is grown under plastic in these poly tunnels, and they stretch for 500 acres. It’s remarkable.

This farm produces an unbelievable seven million flowers every year, demand peaks in the run up to Chinese New Year.

During this time, they buy the flower like a gift and to celebrate. You got beautiful yellow, pink, red behind us. Is there a particular color that’s particularly important for Chinese New Year? Yes, red.

It’s a lovely place to work surrounded by beautiful flowers. Yeah, you feel very happy the whole day.

This a big business worth of 13 million Chinese Yuan per year, that’s over 3 million pounds.

These ladies have been cutting roses all over their working hours lives. They live locally to the farm. And apparently, they cut between three and five thousand rose every morning.
