Essen // 27–30 January 2026

From Africa straight to Essen:  IPD presents its portfolio of cut flowers from Kenya and South Africa. 

The focus is on the unique Fynbos diversity from South Africa – a globally unparalleled flora with numerous endemic species, including various varieties of King Protea.

The assortment is complemented by summer flowers from Kenya, such as gypsophila, hypericum, and kangaroo paw, as well as high-quality roses.

IPD experts will also highlight the benefits of direct trade: small and medium-sized flower farms gain direct market access, while buyers benefit from transparent quality, reliable supply chains, and sustainable cultivation practices.

This creates a fair, efficient, and forward-looking trade, enabling exceptional floral arrangements for the European market.

Visit us in Essen and be inspired by the diversity, quality, and innovative strength of African flower production.
