In 2025, La Gaitana Farms of Colombia earned this title for their commitment to high-quality carnation production, sustainable practices, and strong community values.
“This award isn’t just about us—it’s about the positive change we hope to inspire in the global horticulture industry. By championing sustainability and innovation, we aim to leave a lasting impact, proving that floriculture can be both beautiful and responsible.”
— Camilo Bleier, Manager, La Gaitana Farms
