FLA whose theme is “Enhancing
Africa’s Flower Power Through Better Logistics” has received industry
support from the Kenya Flower Council, Cool Chain Association, Kenya
Plant Health Inspectorate Service, the Ethiopian Horticulture Producer
Exporters Association, International Flower Trade Association and the
International Association of Horticultural Producers (AIPH).
The
organisers said global air cargo firm Saudia Cargo, which covers 225
international destinations in Asia, Africa, Europe and the USA, has
committed support for FLA and PLA as a ‘platinum’ sponsor.
Holland
Flower Alliance, a strategic alliance of Royal FloraHolland, KLM Cargo
and Schiphol Airport will be ‘diamond’ sponsors for the event.
The
statement said delegates drawn from the flower and horticulture
industry seek to open dialogue on new ways to improve logistics and
supply chain performance of key perishable commodities exported from
African countries.
“The platform also provides
participants new opportunities that will allow African exporters to
compete in global markets,” it said.
