Kenya: Get ready for sea freight and storage

Interested in knowing more about your company’s possibility of shipments by sea? Sea freight and storage are becoming increasingly important topics in the floriculture industry. To help companies with these new possibilities, FlowerWatch has been training and continues to train companies on optimizing flower processing, packaging, and the cold chain for sea freight.

"While working on sea freight, there is almost an 'automatic side catch' for working towards storage solutions where you can win by pushing products from low demand to high demand. Players working with our protocols benefit from guaranteed quality consistency and vase life extension," says the FlowerWatch team.

  • Sea freight – why now and how to get ready
  • Commercial aspects of sea freight
  • Consolidate with partners or full containers?
  • If sea freight works, why not fly and store?

    • Different approaches to control botrytis
  • Smart KPI’s for monitoring your sea freight shipments
    • Cold chain (Kenya, container, and customer)
    • Vase life after air or sea freight
  • Build up trust and confidence, both at farm and customer
  • How should the market handle flowers after storage?
