Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Economic markets, specifically the global flower market, make it possible to transport freshly picked roses from Kenya to the United States within 72 hours. This involves fast and efficient transportation and logistics to ensure the flowers remain fresh and reach their destination quickly. The United Nations Director of Horticultural Operations and the Jennifer Flowers Act are not relevant to the production and transportation of roses from Kenya to the US, and tariff laws may impact the cost of the roses but do not make this gift possible.
