Abstract
Mediterranean countries are characterized by their unique climatic and envi-ronmental

These advantages coupled with relatively low labor costs in some countries favored
flower export from this region to European consumer countries.
This review describes
the current situation of floriculture business in selected Mediterranean countries, with
emphasis on the Middle East.
Current trends in flower production in relation to the
world ornamental trade are discussed.
