Coming up roses

The Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation said Wednesday that it is testing out flower vending machines on the first floor of its headquarters in Yangjae-dong, southern Seoul. The company said it hopes the convenient machines will boost the floricultural industry, which has been struggling after an antigraft law limited the cost of floral wreaths gifted to politicians.
