Flower wholesale intermediaries mainly handle cut flowers and potted plants, sorting and processing products procured from markets or production areas based on quality and freshness, and wholesaling them to retail stores or flower markets at appropriate prices. They handle a wide range of tasks such as early morning market shipments, refrigerated storage management, inventory control, delivery planning, and price negotiations, responding to consumer demand and seasonal fluctuations.
