Anyone who is close to the Nursery and Greenhouse industry knows from experience that prices and profit margins are moving in the wrong direction. Data below from the Florida Department of Agriculture support this notion.
National data also exhibit this trend in prices. The Consumer Price Index shows a clear downward trend in the price index for Indoor Plants and Flowers. It's not inconceivable that this trend is present for outdoor plants and flowers as well.
The trend may plateau as housing slowly recovers nationally, but rather than risk the future on an uncertain recovery many growers who understand this trend have invested in Harvest Automation HV-100 plant moving robots. Harvest Automation robots provide workforce stability, production efficiency, and the boost to profit margins that is sorely needed in the Nursery and Greenhouse Industry.
