For the fourteenth time, the The Expo Greater Amsterdam opened its doors to host the International Floriculture Trade Fair (IFTF). From 5-7 November, 289 exhibitors from 13 different countries will showcase their products and services.

Striking this year is the increased number of growers with Uganda participating for the first time. From walking down the aisles just this morning, we already heard that many growers have had a challenging year. In Colombia and Ecuador for example the weather has been a major challenge while in Kenya and Uganda the airfreight capacity and costs is worrying growers and importers. Later this week, we will provide you with more information regarding the latest market trends and developments.
