"We are pleased to welcome AiBiDa to our horticultural network,” said Udo van Slooten, Business Leader Horticulture at Signify.

AiBiDa’s flowers such as cut rose enjoy a high reputation in the Chinese market.

Meanwhile, Yunnan AiBiDa was awarded as ambassador of Philips Horticulture LED lighting solutions globally and locally in China’s Floriculture market.
