Kenyan cut flower export blooming.

ABSTRACT :

 

The cut flower industry in Kenya is discussed. During the last decade, Kenya has become a successful cut flower exporter and a strong competitor on the European market. Labour is cheap and the climate favourable (although sometimes unpredictable). The area under production is approx equal to 700 ha. The most important flower crops are carnations, statice [Limonium], alstroemerias and roses. Among the pressures the industry faces are consumer pressures for environmentally-friendly production, lack of investment, high prices of inputs such as fertilizers, postharvest quality preservation during transport and inadequate air freight capacity.
