| Sumario: | The purpose of this review is to carry out an analysis of the Ecuadorian flower sector and its current status, since in recent decades it has developed in an accelerated manner and the knowledge that currently exists on this activity is basically economic figures based on the exported product tons and markets from exportation. The beginnings of flower companies in Ecuador occurred in the 1980s, concentrating to the present day in the Sierra region. Since then the flower growing sector has been progressively implementing planting of new varieties of flowers, applying greenhouse cultivation and new agricultural methods and research, which allowed it to stand out internationally in the 1990s. Its incomparable geographical situation, climatic conditions and its mega diversity have allowed Ecuador to generate products of the highest quality, which represent an important source of income for the country economy. In recent years, taking into account the quality and importance of generating environmentally friendly production and the environmental responsibility of consumers tools such as the carbon footprint have emerged that allow companies or companies to see different objectives of production, gain competitive advantages, better risk management and give added value to their products. |
