Ecuadorian Flowers Won Prize of Honor in Italian Exhibition

Ecuador won the Grand Prize of Honor in the best foreign collective participation in the International Exhibition Euroflora 2011, which began on April 21 and ends on 1 May in Genoa, Italy.

The Ecuadorian stand showed the path of some of the most beautiful crops in the world. More than 70,000 flowers, mostly roses, were used for mounting the sample, which represented the Andean landscape with the title “La Ruta de las Flores (The Route of the Flowers).”

The National Secretariat for Migrants commended the work and effort of the Embassy of Ecuador in Italy, the Commercial Office in Italy, the Consulate General in Geneva, the Ministry of Tourism of Ecuador, Expoflores and other agencies allowed to leave on high the name of the country.

Euroflora is a high-level international competition, accredited by the International Association of Horticultural Products, held every five years in the Palasport of Genoa and has received more than four and a half million visitors in 9 shows, since 1966. This time 900 exhibitors show their beauty.
