The Import Promotion Desk (IPD) will be presenting a range of cut flowers and floral rarities from Ecuador, Colombia, and Kenya at the International Floriculture Trade Fair (IFTF) from the 5th to the 7th of November 2024, including the 'Flor de Inirida' and other tropical flowers from Colombia, summer flowers from Kenya and roses from Ecuador. The import promotion initiative has included new cut flower producers in its program, who will be attending the IFTF in Vijfhuizen near Amsterdam for the first time. Interested buyers can get to know around 15 small and medium-sized companies at the IPD stand in Hall 4 Stand B4.20.
"Flor de Inirida": Speciality from Colombia
The so-called 'eternal flowers' are "unique": 'Flor de Inirida'. "These rare plants are characterized by their bright red and white heads. The endemic flowers grow in harsh environments and can survive droughts and floods. The Colombian company 'Liwi' has developed a process for cultivating flowers with characteristic heads."
Other exhibitors from Colombia are bringing tropical flowers and cut foliage to the IFTF, including varieties such as Heliconias and Lilies of the Valley, as well as ready-made bouquets.
New rose growers from Ecuador and Kenya
Numerous rose farms from Ecuador are part of the IPD's program. These include for example, the 'Rose Success' farm, which offers more than 65 varieties. Growers from Ecuador will also be presenting garden roses and colored roses. Kenyan producers will also be showing spray roses.
Summer Flowers from Kenya
The IPD companies from Kenya are offering a repertoire of summer flowers at the IFTF, including Limonium, Bupleurum, Lepidium, Talinum, and Eryngium. Among them is the company 'Wilmar Flowers', which works with over 800 small farmers. The partners receive subsidized planting material and support from agricultural engineers during cultivation. Together with its partners, 'Wilmar Flowers' offers twelve different species, including Craspedia, Ammi Visnaga, and Ornithogalum. Kenyan farms specializing in hypericum will also be present at the IFTF.
