Innovative businesses

For European buyers, Kenya offers a wide range of products and services. 

Importers of fresh produce, cut flowers and natural ingredients can benefit from the following advantages: 

  • Ideal climate and rich soils: These conditions allow growing throughout the year and produce high quality produce. 
  • A favourable geographical location: Kenya is close to the equator. This makes it an ideal location for growing tropical and subtropical fruits and flowers. Short transport routes to Europe ensure product freshness. Transport costs are reduced.
  • High quality of the product: Kenyan growers are committed to quality. They have implemented internationally recognised standards such as GLOBALG.A.P, FSSC and ISO 22000.
  • Environmentally friendly farming methods: Many Kenyan farmers use environmentally friendly farming practices, including organic and sustainable irrigated farming.
