Rwandan Flowers reach international markets
It is in this year that exporters of flowers have expanded their activities to the regional and Europe markets.
With the support of the National Agricultural Export Development Board (NAEB), these exporters have managed to secure some floriculture business deals after lands for production were availed in the country. NAEB has also facilitated them to get packaging materials as well as other technical assistance to make the sector viable.
The variety of flowers being sourced from the Northern Province, Kigali City and some from the Southern Province are the result of improved planting materials imported by NAEB which were also distributed to five out-growers in the end of last year.
NAEB needs competitive investors to uphold the projects in place and to eye more opportunities still available.
This year, the country has put in place initiatives to promote Made-In-Rwanda products abroad, and along with Coffee and Tea, NAEB is aiming at increasing the production of flowers, its awareness, and is seeking for more investors with sustainable market and capacities.
