| description | The tropical flowers crops in the Tequendama province (Cundinamarca) have risen as an economic, social, and environmental alternative due to competitive and comparative advantages of the province. In this paper appear the results of the evaluation of tropical flower production in the Tequendama province during the first semester of 2006. The productive potential of this province was compared with national production and exploration of the international market for cut flowers, including that of tropical flowers, presenting the current situation of the market, the latest tendencies and establishing the opportunities of some markets for the export of tropical flowers from Colombia. The type of study was an exploratory-descriptive one. For evaluation of production in the province of Tequendama, personal interviews were made in the field with producers of tropical flowers. The exploration of international markets was made using information from secondary sources and international data bases. The research concluded that the market of tropical flowers was each time more demanding in quality, diversity and frequency of shipments. The appearance of new competitors with high market power demands that the producers from the Tequendama province improve the quality and volume of production with the purpose of maintaining a constant supply to the market and orienting the production towards the still unsatisfied international markets, especially those of the United States and the European Union. |

El cultivo de flores tropicales en la provincia del Tequendama (Cundinamarca), ha surgido como una alternativa de producción económica, social y ambientalmente viable, gracias a las ventajas comparativas como competitivas de la provincia. En este artículo se presentan los resultados de la valoración de la producción de flores tropicales en la provincia del Tequendama, Cundinamarca, realizada durante el primer semestre de 2006. Se compara el potencial productivo de esta provincia con la producción nacional y se realiza una exploración del mercado internacional de las flores de corte y dentro de éstas la participación de las flores tropicales, presentando la situación actual del mercado, las últimas tendencias y estableciendo las oportunidades en algunos mercados para la exportación de flores tropicales en Colombia. El estudio aplicado fue exploratorio-descriptivo. Para la valoración de la producción en la provincia del Tequendama se realizaron entrevistas personales en campo con los productores de flores tropicales; la exploración de los mercados internacionales se realizó mediante el uso de información de fuentes secundarias y bases de datos internacionales. Se concluye que el mercado de flores tropicales cada vez es más exigente en calidad, diversidad y frecuencia de envíos. La aparición de nuevos competidores con mayor poder de mercado exige al productor de la provincia del Tequendama mejorar en calidad y volumen de producción con el fin de realizar una oferta constante al mercado y de esta manera orientar la producción a los mercados internacionales aún insatisfechos, especialmente los de Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea.
