Flowers Also Feeling The Pinch

RARE drought has seriously cut down fresh flower output in southwest China's Yunnan Province, driving up market prices.

About 31,000 hectares, or 80 percent of total fields, are short of irrigation, according to the provincial flower industry office. About 10,853 hectares were damaged and 1,627 hectares were left with no harvest.

Yunnan supplies 80 percent of China's fresh flowers, and many cities have reported a two-fold rise in prices.
