Valentines Day Not Coming Up Roses For India
Episode description
Happy Valentine's Day
It is that time of the year when love shines. But India’s flower growers/exporters will hardly feel the warmth of love this Valentine’s Day 2022. Cupid will once again bring tears – like last year – to flower growers/exporters. Many had hoped that exports would rise but that did not happen.
Farewell Alfred Kuehlewind
We were saddened to learn of the death of Alfred Kuehlewind this past weekend in Los Angeles.
In 1974 Alfred opened Commodity Forwarders Inc. (CFI) as a one-man office in Los Angeles specializing in perishables products, especially strawberries to Europe by air.
In 2017, CFI became part of Kuehne+Nagel.
