The Ornamental plants are products that can be produced in most areas of Iran and are even competitive in the global market and have the potential for exchange earnings of export, but it has a little share in export. The aim of the present research is to investigate the comparative advantage of countries which export flowers and ornamental plants.  For this purpose, the revealed comparative advantage index, Symmetric revealed comparative advantage and new revealed comparative index have been used during the period of 2007–2015.
