— How it works

From order to delivery in five steps.

Every order follows the same five-step flow — transparent and repeatable, so your team knows exactly what to expect each week.

  1. Step 01

    Place your order

    Submit your order by email or through our contact form. Include target varieties, stem counts, required delivery window, and destination. We confirm availability within 24 hours.

  2. Step 02

    Harvest to schedule

    We harvest to order on a weekly cycle. Cutting is timed to your required delivery date, so stems arrive at peak freshness — typically 48 to 72 hours before the export flight.

  3. Step 03

    Cold chain from field

    From the moment of cutting, stems enter our cold chain. Graded, bunched, hydrated and held in temperature-controlled storage through to the export facility at JKIA, without interruption.

  4. Step 04

    Documentation prepared

    Every shipment is accompanied by a KEPHIS phytosanitary certificate, packing list, commercial invoice and airway bill. AFA export licence documentation is included as standard.

  5. Step 05

    Export via JKIA

    Shipments depart Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on scheduled weekly export flights. Transit to Amsterdam Schiphol is typically 8 to 10 hours.

— Shipment documentation

Every shipment arrives with complete documentation.

Paperwork delays at destination are one of the biggest pain points in fresh flower imports. We prepare and verify all documentation before cargo acceptance, so your shipment clears customs cleanly.

Additional documentation such as certificates of origin or GLOBALG.A.P. certification copies can be provided on request to meet specific buyer or retailer requirements.
