International
Flower Exchange, Inc. (IFE) was established in 1982 for the purpose of importing flowers
for distribution in the United States, Europe, Canada and the Caribbean. The growth of the
flower market over the past years has been explosive. Fueled by over 4,500 wholesalers,
the flower market has grown from $153 million
in 1983 to close to $1 billion dollars in 1999.
IFE is an independent flower company
with offices in Miami, Florida and Bogota, Colombia, and Quito, Ecuador that imports a
wide range of flowers from various farms. With IFE's expanding capability to
offer a wide variety of farms and products, both IFE and its customers will continue to
thrive well into the next millennium.
IFE has established itself in the U.S. market by supplying flowers
primarily from Central and South American farms. In an effort to meet increasing demands
in the flower market, IFE is constantly expanding the number of farms it represents. These
developments have given IFE the ability to respond to the current market-wide trend
towards more tailored flower purchases.
We currently represent a wide variety of
growers of fresh cut flowers from five different countries. We
believe that our growers have more hands-on control over their
farms, thereby insuring that the quality guidelines of IFE are
always met.
IFE offers almost any color, variety, cut, and grade you could
possibly need. |
