FedEx Express, participated in Proflora, a flower trade show in Bogota, Colombia, between October 3 and 4, 2019. There, FedEx introduced its most recent logistics and transportation solution service, FedEx Delivery Manager International, to the floricultural logistics sector in Colombia.
As one of the nation’s most robust industries, the Colombian floriculture benefits from its technical capabilities and the quality of its products; totalling approximately $1.5bn* in sales and being one of the largest employers in the agricultural sector creating more than 140,000 formal jobs.
