It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the 5th edition of the International Flower Trade Expo IFTEX to be held at the Oshwal Center in Nairobi, Kenya. In its 5th year of existence, the exhibition already reached the number one position of being the largest cut flower trade fair in Africa, but will this year as well become the largest cut flower trade exhibition in the world. Thanks to the impressive floriculture industry that Kenya has built up in the past decades, the trade fair had the chance to grow to the size it has now. Besides IFTEX, The Kenya Flower Council KFC, is celebrating this year its 20th anniversary.
Well over 200 companies are exhibiting and more than 4,000 national and international trade visitors are expected to attend, a 15% increase, bringing the number of participating countries this year to at least 50. Exhibiting companies will include growers, exporters, brokers, breeders, propagators, and other suppliers of the flower industry. Visitors will include especially flower buyers that will fly in from all over the world, and is the prime target group on the attendance part of the fair. The exhibition itself has grown another 10% in size and will for this reason accommodate about 10% more exhibitors.
The location of the event will again be the Oshwal Center in Nairobi. A stylish building with a beautiful surrounding, perfectly suitable for this type of event. Besides sufficient exhibition space and thus enough room to grow, the in-house as well as this year’s new additional parking facilities outside the compound are excellent.
