Green Farming will be organizing a Horticulture Trade Mission to Kenya for Dutch horticulture suppliers and other parties active in the sector. The program is scheduled for Saturday June 1st till Tuesday June 4th 2013.
Green Farming is organizing this trade mission for Dutch entrepreneurs interested in exploring technological and commercial opportunities, enlarging their insight in the Kenyan sector and meeting potential business partners.
During the mission program the Green Farming theme ‘Climate and energy management’ will be addressed. Energy prices have strongly risen in Kenya over the past years. Producers are therefore increasingly interested in making savings in energy costs, in investing in energy efficient systems and making use of alternative energy sources. The climatic conditions of the past period have also made producers considering making improvements in their greenhouse climate management. Besides learning more about the current situation in the Kenyan sector, attention will thus be paid to the topics of climate and energy management during the program.
In addition to the mission program, an optional group visit to IFTEX is planned for non-exhibitors on Wednesday June 5th.
Costs for participation are 250 EURO for Green Farming members and 500 EURO for non-members. Travel and accommodation costs are for the participant’s own expenses. Participants of the trade mission also qualify for the Discount Fare offered by Kenya Airways when flying in on May 31st.
