This week, Florensis Kenya had the distinct honor of hosting Their Majesties, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, marking a moment of immense pride for our team and the entire Kenyan floriculture sector.
During their visit, we engaged in insightful discussions about Kenya’s pivotal role in the global horticultural supply chain, emphasizing the vast potential for innovation, sustainability, and partnerships. Their Majesties demonstrated genuine interest, asking thoughtful questions that reflected their commitment to understanding both our people and our production processes.
Walking alongside them through our greenhouses was an unforgettable experience, as we showcased our advancements in AI-driven pest control, biological crop management, and solar-powered climate systems. The dedication and hard work of our team were evident, highlighting the strides we are making in the industry.
The visit was further enriched by the presence of key figures, including the Kenyan Cabinet Secretaries for Agriculture and Roads and Transport, as well as the Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. This high-level engagement underscores the strong bilateral support and collaboration between our nations.
In the hours and days that followed, media coverage in both Kenya and the Netherlands positively highlighted our sector, bringing attention to the beauty, innovation, and potential of Kenyan floriculture.
Moments like these remind us of the impact of our work and the incredible people who make it possible. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at Florensis Kenya, our partners, and of course, Their Majesties, for shining a spotlight on the vibrant future of Kenyan floriculture.
