In 2021 there are strength in caper that are frame pressure on cost increases in the industriousness :
When it comes to ocean freight , increase need for quad allow carrier to charge higher rate . The transportation prison term for containers to trip overseas is being extended ( add costs ) due to interface over-crowding . It is not strange for ship now to wait 5 to 10 day offshore to get a berthing spot in the larboard to unload the container . The ports themselves are taking longer to empty the containers .
Freight carriers in the flower industriousness always have insurance premium surcharge during floral holidays . It is a little early to screw where the new normal might be come off Mother ’s Day , but the first moment is there will be some addition in transportation cost due to rising fuel and confinement costs .
Is there a silver facing in all this ? The brilliant place has been the strengthening of our Canadian dollar sign . In March 2020 , the dollar mark swap around 1.43 versus the US dollar bill . It is presently trading around 1.24 . That is approximately a 13 % addition in buy index . This is helping to palliate damage increase on products we buy in US dollar bill .
The tone Canadian dollar has helped keep some constancy on our sweeping prices despite trafficker and transportation increases . In looking back at our 2019 slash blossom Mother ’s Day prices , the discrepancy to 2021 damage was nonaged .
However , when faced with a double - finger US dollar sign vendor increase and twofold - figure transportation addition , the stronger dollar bill will decrease the price addition necessary but not eliminate it .

We seek to hold our catalog monetary value where possible but do appropriate the right to change the published price . gash efflorescence pricing is market drive and are published hebdomadally .
When you jump seeing price growth at the sweeping spirit level , in my opinion , it is foreshadowing of inflation to follow . With higher inflation we may finally see interest rate go up . I will let the Bank of Canada manage the involvement rate as I am no economist , but it may be time to lock in borrowings on longer terms .
