The global floriculture industry is in full bloom, and Kenya is at the heart of it. As the International Flower Trade Exhibition (IFTEX) returns to Nairobi from 3rd to 5th June 2025, the focus is clear: how can exporters meet rising global demand while preserving the quality that makes Kenyan flowers world-class?

At InspiraFarms Cooling, we believe the answer lies in one word: cold chain. We’re excited to be exhibiting at Stand G3.29 at this year’s IFTEX, where we’ll be connecting with growers, exporters, freight professionals, and logistics partners to explore the technologies and solutions driving freshness, efficiency, and profitability across Africa’s floriculture value chain.

Kenya’s Cut Flowers: Valuable, Vulnerable—and In Demand

Kenya’s flower industry continues to thrive, generating over KES 110 billion in 2024, and cementing its position as one of the leading agricultural export sectors on the continent. But flowers are delicate. The moment they’re cut, the clock starts ticking—and the cold chain becomes critical.

To reach export markets like Royal Flora Holland in the Netherlands with their color, structure, and scent intact, cut flowers must be cooled to 2°C–6°C and reach the airport within 48 hours. A single break in the cold chain? It can mean full product rejection and significant financial loss.

❄️ InspiraFarms Cooling: Protecting Every Petal, Every Step

At InspiraFarms Cooling, we build energy-efficient, modular, and digitally monitored cooling solutions designed specifically for agribusinesses across Africa. For flower producers and exporters, we help secure freshness from farm to freight—no matter the distance or conditions.

Our cold rooms and pre-coolers are:

• ✅ Built for high humidity and low-temperature stability
• ✅ Fitted with remote monitoring for real-time visibility
• ✅ Scalable to meet seasonal and long-term growth needs
• ✅ Designed with energy efficiency to lower operational costs

And now, we’re making it easier than ever to invest in the cold chain systems you need.

Buy or Finance: Choose What Works for You

We understand that every agribusiness is different, which is why we offer both upfront cash purchase options and flexible financing plans tailored to your budget and cash flow.

Whether you're expanding your export volumes or building your first cold room, we’ll work with you to find a financing model that supports your growth.

With InspiraFarms, you're not just buying cooling equipment—you’re investing in reliability, reduced losses, and long-term export success.

 Growth Needs Resilience And Smart Infrastructure

With the Kenya floriculture sector growing at over 5% annually, exporters need to build operations that are not only efficient but future-ready. Cold chain is no longer optional—it's the backbone of global competitiveness.

InspiraFarms Cooling is proud to partner with farms and exporters across the region to make that backbone stronger, smarter, and more sustainable.
