Abstract

The floriculture industry appears forty years ago in fields dedicated to traditional agriculture in municipalities of the savanna of Bogotá such as Madrid, Chia, Tenjo, Cota, Mosquera, Funza, and Sibaté, among others. In these forty years of activity the floricultural sector grew and became one of the most important industries in the country and with more international projection. In 1995 the doors are opened to start exports to foreign countries and with it also a massive hiring of women. In the following research work, the challenges and contributions that women flower growers of the municipality of Sibaté will face daily will be exposed.
