Dubai Flower Centre was developed to handle flower imports and exports, as Dubai is a major hub for the import and export of flowers and the airport required a specialist facility since these products need special conditions. The flower Centre’s first phase was completed in 2004 at a cost of $50 million. The construction is not yet completed and will continue in two more phases. At present, the Dubai Flower Centre has 19 tenants coming from 11 countries and is expected to serve two billion consumers once fully operational. Thus, Dubai Flower Center Free Zone apart from increasing the country’s revenue and offering jobs to the locals also allows people from other countries to take part in the industry.
