Stormy Weather Wrecks Malaysia's Flower Industry The recent spate of heavy rainfall in Cameron Highlands has brought the flower industry in Malaysia to a standstill.
The persistent downpours have had a devastating impact on harvests, driving up costs and weakening demand. Growers are struggling to cope with fungal problems and smaller, weaker blooms that don't last long.
Roses, usually harvested within 50 60 days under good sunlight, are taking longer to bloom due to the rain.
