Kenya Flower Council

Kenya Flower Council

The Kenya Flower Council is a floral industry industrial association of Kenya. It was formed in 1996 to represent indpendent Kenyan cut flower and ornamental plant growers and exporters.

The council (KFC) is involved in issues of industry lobbying, worker safety, environmental protection, industrial regulation, industrial development and floriculture company accreditation, as well as more weighty issues of global carbon dioxide emissions and international industrial diplomacy.

The Kenya Flower Council counts more than 50 member companies at its website; its offices are in Nairobi.

Promotion and lobbying

Kenya is a leading flower and ornamental plant producer, and the council is active in promoting Kenyan flowers to European supermarkets, florists, and at trade shows in the United Kingdom, Holland, Germany and other European Union countries.

Auditing and accreditation activities

Domestically, the Kenya Flower Council is affiliated with the Kenya Horticulture Council, the Fresh Produce Exporters Association of Kenya (FPEAK) and with the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS). It publishes a detailed Code of Practice and employs a rating system for its member companies, involving Gold Standard ranking, Silver Standard ranking and Associate rankings.

Globally, the board subscribes to the Good Agricultural Practices guideline system of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, and to EurepGAP.
