Juchitán, Oax /
Five years ago, Romeo Piñón, a producer of cempasúchil flowers, has become the promoter of the cultivation of this flower using selected Creole seeds, which he himself has obtained through his harvests.
He explained that they (as producers) seek to raise awareness among the inhabitants of the importance of keeping alive the Creole seed of this flower native to Mexico.
“We, as producers, are in a fight against this production and introduction of this greenhouse flower, because it is a greenhouse flower that comes in the form of pots.”
Since the month of August, Romeo and his family begin germinating the plants, then plant them one by one in the furrows, so that they are ready for this Xandu season.”
“And with this we have our own flower and the recommendation is that for our countrymen to consume local produce, since if we have it here, there is no need to buy the flower in pot form.”
Sales begin today and will end next November 2, expecting an economic benefit greater than last year.
