Outstanding variety and quality
Bring the floral beauty of the equator to Europe
Ecuador, Colombia and Kenya offer excellent climatic conditions for flower growing. The warming sun or the location in the Andean highlands yield marvellous flowers with magnificent blossoms and strong stems, which are in high demand on the European market.
As an importer of cut flowers there is no need for you to personally embark on the time-consuming and cost-intensive search for suitable exporters. We have already done this job for you. We offer you direct access to small producers whose cut flowers you would normally only be able to buy via larger farms.
We have identified highly promising producers of cut flowers for you who are able to reliably meet the seasonal demand on the EU market. We prepare the suppliers thoroughly for the European market: giving attention not only to product quality, exportability and capacity, and compliance with international standards and certification, but also to their efficiency in terms of logistics and shipment.
Take advantage of all these benefits of tried-and-tested IPD companies and import cut flowers from South America that are sure to please.
»Since the beginning of our purchasing cooperative Flora Blumenimport, we have always tried to work with smaller growers in the Netherlands and abroad. Through the work of IPD, we have found some interesting smaller family businesses in Colombia and Ecuador that we did not know before. We are now buying more and more from them.«

Success Story
Successful move: cut flower farm benefits from the advantages of direct trade
Diversity blooms at the foot of Mount Kenya: Mount Kenya Sprouts impresses European buyers with a colourful selection of "summer flowers". With the support of IPD, the company has successfully repositioned itself and geared its sales to direct trade with European importers. A highlight of this strategy is the partnership with Cologne-based florist Blütenpracht, with whom Mount Kenya Sprouts has developed a new range: Summer Flower Bouquets.
