The floriculture sector, known as the GEFFA Group, is particularly important because of its long history and achievements in the region. For the past 8 years, it has represented a group of small and medium sized flower growers and exporters from eastern Antioquia. Thanks to the support of the Guild, today it is a solid and recognized group in the country, which has received public resources for multiple actions, among them: international trade missions to Canada, Holland, Russia, support for participation in national fairs such as Proflora and resources to co-finance environmental certification processes such as the Rainforest seal.
