IFTEX Expo Kenya
June 03, 2025 - June 05, 2025
Completed IFTEX Expo Kenya is a significant biennial event that brings together professionals from the global flower industry, offering them a unique opportunity to showcase products and services to international buyers. Held in Nairobi, the event shines a spotlight on Kenya's rapidly growing floriculture industry, which has become a major player on the world stage. The expo serves as a crucial platform for exchanging knowledge, fostering business relationships, and exploring the latest trends, innovations, and opportunities in the floriculture sector.
One of the key features of IFTEX is the strong partnership between Kenya and the Netherlands, two nations that have collaborated closely to drive growth and innovation in the flower industry. Dutch expertise has been instrumental in advancing the sector, providing Kenya with access to global markets, cutting-edge technologies, and sustainable farming practices. This collaboration has enabled Kenyan floriculture to thrive, allowing local farmers to meet the demands of international buyers while maintaining high standards of quality and sustainability.
Kenya’s natural advantages, such as its favorable climate and government support, have played a pivotal role in the growth of its floriculture industry. However, the sector faces ongoing challenges, particularly from the effects of climate change, which threaten to disrupt production cycles and impact crop yields. Despite these challenges, the partnership between Kenya and the Netherlands continues to provide valuable solutions, with Dutch innovations in technology and sustainability helping to mitigate some of the risks posed by changing environmental conditions.
IFTEX Expo Kenya not only highlights the importance of these international partnerships but also provides a space for industry professionals to discuss the future of floriculture, explore new market trends, and share ideas for tackling the challenges facing the sector. As the global demand for flowers continues to grow, the event plays a crucial role in shaping the future of the floriculture industry, ensuring that Kenya remains a key player in the international flower trade. Through collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability, the floriculture sector in Kenya is poised for continued success on the global stage.

The import value of food and beverages to Kenya amounted to approximately 16.5 billion Kenyan shillings (KSh), equivalent to roughly 142 million U.S. dollars. Primary imports in this sector include maize, unmilled wheat and wheat flour, rice, sugar, fishery products, vegetables, dairy products, edible oils and fats, coffee, tea, and spices.
