Kenya flower exporters are seeking more cargo capacity in the Kenya Airways’ #ticker:KQ direct flight to the US to enable them export enough produce to meet increasing demand.
According to the Kenya Flower Council CEO Clement Tulezi, the airline management allocated five tonnes of cargo capacity to exporters of agricultural products which include horticulture and apparels among others, during the airline’s direct flight route launch to the US last year October. Of this, only two tonnes is allocated for flowers.
