The diverse landscape of Ecuador, which is made up of zones such as the Amazon Rainforest, the Andean highlands, and the Galapagos Islands off the coast of the mainland, means that it has ideal growing conditions to yield many endemic plants and trees. Although Ecuador exports a large number of flowers such as Gypsophila, Limonium, and Blazing Star, Roses are the greatest flower export, as Ecuador grows approximately 60 varieties. As well was exporting Palo Santo Essential Oil, it plays a significant role in producing cocoa, being the eighth largest cocoa producer.
