Kenya has become one of the world's leading producers and exporters of cut flowers and has recently seen a major expansion in fresh vegetable production as well. In 2004 Kenya exported around 100,000 tons of fresh produce. Flowers represented about 40% of this total weight.

Kenya represents a major horticultural market seeking the latest technology to enable its growers to meet the demands of the overseas markets they are supplying. With strong historic and economic links with the UK it is an ideal market for UK horticultural suppliers.

Hortec, held every two years, is the principle horticultural event in the region and attracts visitors from all over Kenya as well as surrounding countries such as Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda; countries which are also seeking to expand their horticultural exports.
