AIPH currently has 33 memberships spread across 25 countries. AIPH certified International horticultural expositions are considered to be representation of the highest qualified standards available while displaying the horticultural, technology and cultural achievements of the host country. The Taipei City Government together with Taiwan Floriculture Development Association held a spring conference with The International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH) in April, 2006 and proposed the desire to conduct an A2/B1 grade international horticultural exposition to highlight Taiwan's horticultural renowned achievements.
