e and inclusive industry this is why sustainability will just like in previous years remain a key topic for kfc during this edition of the iftex as well catherine mukoko among the key focus areas for kfc at this year s floriculture trade fair will be to showcase the all inclusive sustainability element within the kenyan flower industry of course other themes will also be incorporated innovation and technology are both emerging trends that the flower industry in kenya can highly benefit from if comprehensively leveraged at the floral trade fair kfc will according to catherine be taking part in several important discussions that touch on sustainability alongside these other key topics an opportunity that cannot be missed with the convenient platform to interact with different breeders growers logistics handlers wholesalers retailers and other buyers iftex presents an opportunity that cannot be missed for anything one just has to be there to experience firsthand all that the kenyan and global flower industry has to offer as the east african country welcomes the flower world to its capital city source thursd nairobi to host international floriculture expo in june published may 15 2025 kenya is known for the production of quality flowers and is among the top five globally producers and exporters of fresh cut flowers especially roses at 70 percent in africa kenya leads in both production and exports with the main destination being europe mainly the netherlands which takes up 47 percent of the flower exports while the uk and germany takes 15 and 7 percent respectively and middle east and kazakhstan are among other emerging markets speaking wednesday during a media briefing on the upcoming international floriculture trade expo iftex 2025 scheduled for the first week of june director of horticultural crops directorate hcd christine chesaro said that in 2024 the export earnings in total for horticulture were sh136 billion and out of this 53 per cent was from flowers chesaro added that 17 per cent were from vegetables and 30 per cent were from fruits and this shows that flowers were still the leading export value of all horticultural exports thus playing a critical role in the economy of this country she acknowledged that the country still had challenges including effects of climate change cost of production logistical challenges and pests and diseases the director however noted that following the adoption of the systems approach in april 2025 which was a requirement of the european union regulations in managing the false code moth fcm pest it continues to export to the european union a big plus for the country the systems approach is proving to be very effective a challenge that we are surmounting which can only help us to increase our production and exports to europe and to other parts of the world she said furthermore chesaro noted that the government was very much aware of the issue of freight capacity and that there was a national horticulture standing committee that has been tasked to look into the challenges facing the horticulture sector in general and the flower sector in particular and one of the key things is looking at how to address the issue of capacity for exports through such trade promotions as the iftex 2025 the chesaro said kenyan exhibitors will not only be looking at an increase in the produce but also looking at the green light given on exports to europe and will be able to increase their exports the kenya flower council kfc chief operations officer coo catherine mukoko said for instance this year s iftex comes at a critical moment for both the industry and the planet with the global floriculture sector facing numerous challenges from climate change and rising production costs to increased demand for sustainable practices and transparency in the supply chain kenya she added is not immune to these challenges but has been setting and monitoring compliance with rigorous standards under the internationally benchmarked certification scheme the kfc flowers and ornamentals sustainability standard kfc foss which covers environmental sustainability social responsibility and good agricultural practices through our strategic partnerships both local and international we continue to invest in knowledge transfer capacity building and market access for growers especially smallholders she said mukoko explained that one of the key focus areas at this year s iftex will be showcasing sustainability as a means of creating market access for members by paying attention to the role of digital transformation in floriculture from blockchain enabled traceability and climate smart agriculture to e commerce solutions that link kenyan flowers directly to consumers abroad general manager of phytosanitary services at the kenya plant health inspectorate service kephis isaac macharia said they want to increase investment in inspection of the flower produce before the same is exported in the external markets this he added is geared towards ensuring high quality flowers are locally produced and exported to the targeted markets kephis has intensified plans to facilitate online certification and has succeeded in registering all planting materials from external sources and this has helped in curbing infected foreign materials from entering the local market he said macharia called upon the international community to trust that they are going to get the best quality flowers since kenya has put in place mechanisms to ensure they are able to check the flowers all the way from production to when the flowers leave and even when the flowers get to the market we have also developed an online certification system that is accessible both locally and internationally and this is where people can actually be able to request their documentation they can request their inspection and their certifications he said he added that they were soon rolling out what the e phyto where they will be going paperless and by the time products leave the country the particular document has been transmitted electronically to the international community and they can actually be able to start the process macharia said macharia noted that they were also carrying out capacity building for the growers ensuring they know exactly what was required of them to do their business ensuring they know the market requirements and also offering adequate inspections for the product before they leave the country international flower trade exhibition iftex organizer dick raamsdonk said the trade fair for the international fresh flower industry focuses on attracting international flower buyers to attend and buy more flowers kenya is one of the five largest flower producing nations in the world and the trade fair will have over 200 exhibitors which is 20 percent more registered visitors than last year s number and this shows that the industry has managed to maintain its position even managing to grow despite all these bubbles and enormous shortage of freight capacity dick said kenya is currently the fourth largest exporter of cut flowers globally and the number one exporter to europe but beyond the blooms lies an industry that sustains over 200 000 direct jobs touches the lives of over 4 million kenyans and significantly contributes to the country s foreign exchange earnings next month s 12th iftex edition which will take place at the oshwal center nairobi from june 2nd to june 5th will be a great moment to see the whole sector meeting and bringing kenya s flower industry to the next level dick said source kenya news agency iftex is all about connecting the entire flower industry published may 1 2025 a platform presenting an opportunity for all in the industry to engage and share insights on boosting this key trade for more than ten years the international flower trade exhibition iftex has been and continues to be the premier and perhaps one of the most important events in the global floriculture and horticulture industries held annually in nairobi kenya iftex presents a dynamic platform for flower breeders growers exporters importers logistics and virtually all other industry professionals to converge collaborate and celebrate the beauty of flowers this year is certainly no different from june 3 5 2025 this key international floral trade fair organized by hpp exhibitions will be taking place at the oshwal center in nairobi with the main intention of promoting flowers and chatting the way forward with regard to the latest developments in the floriculture industry and the sustainability of the international cut flower industry as always it will also focus on the urgent need to address challenges affecting the industry in order to make a difference for the general floral sector safeguarding the sustainability and well being of the flower industry notably a unified and unequivocal message must be conveyed regarding the realities of cut flower cultivation and the sustainability issue in recent times the cut flower industry s status appears at risk of muddling due to the absence of a collective response around specific issues
