Abstract:
The decision of several cucumber farmers to change to rose cultivation in 1970 saw the start of cutflower production of roses in Goudo. Seven years later, the agricultural corporation, Rose Production Corporation of Goudo, was founded. In 1984, the rose was registered as the town flower of Goudo. Since then, rose production has been regionally promoted in Goudo. From 1986, direct sales to consumers by means of a house-to-house delivery system began with large sales made for Mother's Day and Father's Day.
