Importing from Kenya

Kenya’s export strength lies in flowers (worldwide leader), fresh vegetables, coffee, and tea. The Dutch flower auction buys large volumes of Kenyan roses and other cut flowers daily—air freight is the only option for these goods due to their limited shelf life.

Kenyan flowers fly multiple times a day from Nairobi to Schiphol. Aircargo.nl has years of experience with cold chain transport from Nairobi—from picking in Kenya to delivery at the auction or your warehouse in the Netherlands. Phytosanitary certificates are routinely checked and processed.
