Welcome at our stand IFTEX and Fresh Produce Africa EXPO 6- 8 June 2018

In the last few weeks, our IFTEX stand gets more and more shape. Like the last few years the entire Agriculture team will be present at the Embassy stand. We are also excited about the fact that this year not only flowers will be exhibited at the Expo, but also other fresh produce, which makes the Expo even bigger with 45 additional horticulture companies.

As export of horticulture produce to Europe keeps growing over time, so does the relation between Kenya and The Netherlands. The sky is the limit, Dutch companies increasingly show their ability to boost the competitiveness of the sector by coming with promising innovations and we encourage companies to make use of these opportunities. Together, Kenya and the Netherlands work on an enabled business environment which facilitates growth of the sector and enhances the strong trade position. At the same time the sector is facing challenges such as climate change, for which Dutch companies have fitting solutions. We already see that several companies have taken the lead by providing excellent examples of how to implement circular economy principles on their farm. These examples show the impact each stakeholder can make in ensuring sustainability of the sector. The Expo is the moment to make new connections and learn!

We very much look forward to meeting our partners at our stand!
