Why Global Buyers Are Racing to Kenyan Flowers And How You Can Ride the Wave 🌍

Kenyan Flower Demand Soars to Record Highs 🌱

Kenya isn’t just growing flowers, it’s growing global momentum. Today, Kenya supplies 38% of all roses sold in the EU, making it the region’s #1 source, according to the Kenya Flower Council (Wikipedia). In 2024, the UK alone imported £140 million in Kenyan cut flowers, cementing Kenya as its second-largest floral trade partner (OECD World).

But this isn’t just a Europe story anymore. The UAE is now a significant and growing market for Kenyan flowers, listed alongside the UK and EU as a top destination for Kenya Wholesale Flower.

On a typical day, 60 million stems lift off from Jomo Kenyatta Airport. Around Valentine’s, that number surges to 100 million. These aren’t just exports they’re love, color, and care shipped worldwide. Clement Tulezi, CEO, Kenya Flower Council (FloralDaily)

Broker Chains Are Bleeding Your Margins 💸

For many growers, success is slowed by a silent killer. Brokers and Middle-Men Every extra middleman doesn't just take a fee they take away your momentum. Each handoff:

Cuts 10–15% of your margin in duplicate costs and hidden commissions.
Reduces vase life as stems sit in transit longer. And with buyer payment terms dragging weeks if not months, your cash flow stalls just when you need to reinvest and grow.
