More fresh goods
It is for the first time that a significantly lower number of technical supply companies will be presenting themselves at this fair with a stand.
International buyers promotion
International promotion efforts for the fair are going very well and the number of preregistered buyers is growing steadily every week.
A group of flower buyers from the USA is preparing themselves for a trip to Kenya to attend this year’s IFTEX. Furthermore, pre-registrations of international buyers have come in already from Canada, Germany, Italy, France, Japan, Kuwait, Holland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, the UAE, the UK and China.
Qualified visitors from countries surrounding Kenya have signed up, countries such as Uganda, Nigeria, South Africa and Namibia.
Growers quality competition
Special attention will be given to this year’s Growers Quality Competition. Judging will focus on comparisons between varieties and not between types. This will allow both growers and buyers to have a much more useful result.
