During the 1-hour ceremony, organizers highlighted the growth and potential of the IFTEX exhibition- which is the largest IFTEX to date, with 165+ exhibitors. On top of that, they also pointed out the importance of the Kenyan floriculture industry - which employs more than 200,000 people directly, and 2 million people depend on it.
The show will last until Thursday, June 8th, and our FloralDaily reporter will be on site to make a photo report and to discover the developments and what is hip and happening in this market. So, stay tuned for more pictures and info.
