  There are few papers about the international trade of flowers, so it is
believed that this paper, with this topic, could be an important contribution
to the international scientific community. It is intended to analyze if the
international trade flowers tendencies and policies are adapted to the actual
world global context. For that it was used data about the import and export of
flowers, in different forms, between Portugal and the world. This is an
approach to understand the international trade flowers tendencies and policies.
To better understand the data analyzed it is made several estimations based in
the absolute convergence theory and an analyze of the data volatility. As main
conclusions, there is a tendency to the countries trade the flowers between the
neighbors and is needed a more coherent policy for the international trade of
flowers.
