Biogold first seized this opportunity in South Africa,
working with a group of unique breeders within the
sector. These breeders have dedicated their efforts
and expertise towards the production of new and
exciting ornamental and cut flower selections, inspired
by South Africa’s rich and diverse floral kingdoms.
Since then, Biogold has expanded its operations
considerably and plant materials are now sourced
from a number of additional regions which fall
within the sphere of influence of the Biogold group.
The portfolio currently includes plant material sourced
from several continents. One of
the focal areas of the portfolio is the supply of
plants for the modern household, be it water-wise garden
ornamentals or those destined for containers on one’s
patio. Biogold is also currently in
the process of developing a plant
breeding hub to offer smaller-scale breeders
access to more sophisticated breeding facilities.
The commercial development of cut flowers and
ornamentals involves a series of processes with a chain
of production that includes research, development, market panel
evaluation, initiation, tissue culture production, traditional
cultivation, potting and ongrowing, as well as the co-ordination
of wholesale
and retail facilities.
Biogold is involved in all aspects of the
process, ensuring a systematised approach to the
commercialisation of new products. The group intends to
introduce new products into both the ornamental and cut flower
sectors through a direct and low cost provision process.
Exciting new products in our portfolio
include:
Eucomis, Zantedeschia, Gladiolus, Crocosmia, Agapanthus,
Agathosma, Gloriosa, Crinum, Kniphofia, Sandersonia, Aloe,
Mesembrine, Pelargonium, Scadoxus, Punicia, Rutacea spp. |
