Even though it is a topic of much discussion in various circles, I am sure that Each person's understanding will be different depending on each person's literacy level to the meaning of climate change. Social media, bombastic news and coverage of activists The environment shapes perceptions that each person receives differently.
However, the general consensus that is understood is that changes in temperature and climatic patterns across the globe. The driving factors can come from natural aspects such as volcanic eruptions. However, since the last 2-3 centuries human activities have become the main suspect with the increasingly intensive use of fossil fuels, activities in agricultural production and other industries.
Several decades ago, this issue was still an elitist topic. But lately it's been increasing close to everyday life. The fact that sea levels are rising and their occurrence The increase in average temperature is increasingly felt around us.
For us floriculture industry players, this phenomenon makes us ask how far in will have an impact on production activities. In other agricultural sectors, this has happened a lot changes in the form of moving production areas due to changes in temperature. Apple production in the city Batu Malang, has been relocated to another area which is perceived to be cooler (despite other facts stated that the most influential thing was competition over land use with the real estate and property sectors).
The most important factor in cultivating floriculture products is the minimum temperature at night which determines the suitability of commodities. Roses,ÂÂÂ moon orchids, lilium, snapdragon, lisianthus, carnation, gerbera, calla, and so on. The minimum temperature can hardly be manipulated with available technical measures. And even if it were possible, it couldn't be justified economically This is a natural gift that is taken for granted. The main consideration is whether the commodity The above floriculture can be cultivated in an area with a minimum temperature. CommodityAnother floriculture that is almost un affected by these changes is the lebi product tropical nuances such as cut foliage and various ornamental landscape products.
Other environmental factors such as air humidity, maximum temperature, rainfall etc. Including environmental factors that can be controlled with various techniques and facilities cultivation. In Indonesia, in the near future, this climate change factor may be almost non-existent significantly influence floriculture production. Rising sea levels are causing coastal settlements are sinking as has happened along the Pantura or Pola monsoon rains that drown Bangladesh are a real negative influence on everyday life. The release of various pathogenic organisms that have been protected for centuries by the ice sheet, it could possibly trigger the emergence of various waves of the pandemic damage. Disruption of the presence of insects that help pollinate plants by rising average daily temperatures, may seriously disrupt global food production patterns.
I am sure that climate change will not be the determining factor floriculture industry. Some of the following things below may be real negative things affect floriculture
1. Changes in patterns of use of fresh products (it has been repeatedly indicated that flora material artificial is starting to become dominant). It is quite ironic that the floriculture industry du apparently grew quite solidly and left Indonesia in the world statistical profile. Another time We will discuss this anomaly in more detail and clarity.
2. The commodification of floriculture, which initially came from novelty products, created competitiveness has decreased, which is reflected in the decline in the exchange rate and prices are not static following inflation.
3. Increase in prices of various production input components such as labor costs, fertilizer, pesticides, logistics, etc. which are not compensated by significant changes in selling prices on floriculture product.
4. After the Covid outbreak ended, public interest in various floriculture products decreased very drastic.
It looks like agricultural food production will probably be much more impacted because of the changes planting patterns and seasons, and also the potential for outbreaks of plant pests. Industry Food production will have a greater influence on the political and social situation of society compared to floriculture. Moreover, the volume and value of this food product cannot be reduced compared to the Flori industry. Within certain limits, the magnitude can be ignored. Things related to climate change are the advancement or delay of various harvest times products that are affected by day length such as chrysanthemums and poinsettias. Or flowering late for Floriculture products whose flowering is determined by temperature changes such as moon orchid.(Sumartono)
Ornamental plants are no longer just decorative elements in the house, but have become part of the modern lifestyle. The beauty and tranquility provided by ornamental plants make them increasingly popular, especially in providing a refreshing and natural atmosphere indoors.
Ornamental plants not only beautify the layout of the house, but have also opened the door to their use as creative interior design elements, including in cafes and other public places. Pictum Coffee & Kitchen is a modern cafe that not only serves delicious coffee, but also tries to create a comfortable and aesthetic atmosphere. Houseplants provide a refreshing natural touch, creating a warm and welcoming environment.
Cafe located on Jl. Raya Ragunan, Pasar Minggu, South Jakarta is even scattered with ornamental plants in every corner. Starting from plants with large leaves to plants with unique and interesting small leaves. The use of ornamental plants in cafes not only beautifies the appearance, but also increases comfort for visitors. Minaqu Home Nature is the main supplier that fills all the ornamental plants in the interior of Pictum Coffee & Kitchen. Thousands of plants fill the cafe. Busy urban lifestyles often disconnect us from nature. Using ornamental plants can certainly be an ideal way to overcome this, bringing a dash of nature into a modern living space.
Last month, 2 weeks at the end of the year, there happened to be an invitation to a friend's son/daughter's wedding which was held in Jakarta. The places are quite good, the first is on Jl Gatot Subroto and the second is on Jl Rasuna Said. As a flower farmer, of course what is interesting to see is what kind of design, arrangement and type of flowers will be used in the ballroom where the event will be held. Besides of course also the taste of the food served by the catering used.
However, we were quite surprised to find out from the reception table that there were lots of artificial flowers and plants used at the event. There were all artificial plants installed in the gazebo towards the aisle, and also artificial flowers inserted in several arrangements along the food stands and tables. For an event of that size to be held in such a good place, it would have been unimaginable a few years ago that this would happen. Not only that, it turns out that the various ornamental plants under the stage are also artificial plants that we usually find at IKEA or Ace hardware. It's also sad to know that for events like this, prestige is only measured by what looks good in the photo, but ignores the higher aesthetic value, namely the freshness of the real flowers and plants used. After returning from the event, thoughts raced in my mind imagining in the next 10 years or so, how fresh flowers and plants would be used at weddings which might be held 1-2 times in our lifetime. It would also be interesting to know what the situation is like in the more premium places along Jl Thamrin and Jl Sudirman in Jakarta.
Indeed, less encouraging signs have emerged in recent years. Events that are usually a booming period for sales of flowers and ornamental plants seem to be starting to disappear one by one. Valentine's Day, which used to be a good period for selling roses, is no longer seen in malls along with flower and chocolate themes. Only the promo flyers and posters are still scattered around. Likewise with the Chinese New Year, Eid or Christmas periods.
Employee competency is one of the important factors that drives progress business in today's global era. In a fast-changing and fraught business environment competition, competence not only ensures that employees can carry out their tasks effectively, but also provide a basis for innovation and adaptation to new market trends. Competent employees are able to improve productivity, work quality and customer satisfaction, while helping the company in responding to challenges and taking advantage of opportunities more quickly and efficient. Therefore, investment in employee competency development becomes strategic aspects that are crucial for business growth and sustainability.
ASBINDO as the Association that accommodates the floriculture industry in Indonesia provides attention and commitment in human development in the field of floriculture. ASBINDO provides various competency-based training programs and collaborates with BNSP licensed LSP for floriculture to carry out competency certification Work. Apart from that, ASBINDO will also take a role in the development of the Place Competency Test (TUK) to support the implementation of competency assessments in Indonesia. This TUK was developed by involving ASBINDO members throughout Indonesia thus forming a national TUK Floriculture network.
