Why source dry & sola flowers from India to South Africa?
India is the world’s leading origin for sola wood flowers, palm spear, exotic Indian seed pods and handmade Lata arrangements — a perfect complement to South Africa’s strong indigenous protea and fynbos export trade. Direct sourcing from a Kolkata grower lands in Durban / Cape Town at 30–45% below product routed via Dutch re-exporters, with full APEDA + DALRRD-compliant documentation.
