Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies should attend Naivasha Horticultural?
An ideal platform for companies offering greenhouse systems for cut‑flower growers, irrigation equipment, fertilizers and plant nutrition, agricultural chemicals, packaging, and cold‑chain solutions. Turkish greenhouse technology firms (polyethylene greenhouses, climate control), drip irrigation system manufacturers, and agricultural machinery companies can reach East Africa’s largest agricultural purchasing audience at this fair.
Why is Kenya a world‑renowned flower exporter?
The unique climate around Lake Naivasha (high altitude + mild temperatures + abundant sunshine + low‑cost labour) provides world‑class conditions for rose cultivation.
