Kenya’s success is no accident. The country’s unique geographical and climatic conditions provide a perfect foundation for year-round flower cultivation.
The Equator’s Gift: Located on the equator, Kenya enjoys consistent, direct sunlight and favorable temperatures throughout the year. The high altitudes of key production areas—around Lake Naivasha, Mount Kenya, Nakuru, and Kericho—provide cool nights, which is ideal for producing long-stemmed, high-quality roses and other delicate blooms without the need for energy-intensive artificial heating.
Fertile Land and Water: The country is blessed with fertile soils and sufficient water resources, particularly in the Rift Valley, which has enabled the establishment of large-scale, technologically advanced farms.
Logistical Hub: With its proximity to major international transport routes and a well-established export infrastructure, especially at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi, Kenya can quickly and efficiently transport its perishable products to global markets.
