For a maths lesson, I’m trying to find details on the real cost of flowers. If a bunch of roses costs, say, £7, how much of that is profit for the retailer, how much for the wholesaler, how much is transport cost, and how much goes to the producers?
Lets see – $7 a week sounds like an average wage in some third world countries, and a person could pick 100 bunches a day – that makes 7cents per bunch. But that person may have to pay for things like farm equipment, fertiliser and things when the flowers are not yet flowering so that would make it say 14 cents per bunch.
