Not so much in sprayOver the last years , the Chinese rose cultivation increased and improved . Isabelle feels the rival from the local marketplace a bit more than five class ago - when they just entered China - but it is still comparatively dispirited . “ They are not so much in spray roses , and are not that familiar with the queer colors and garden types . We are specialized in the finish of spray roses in all different kinds of colors and types , which hold us a head startle . On top of that , we are able to cater tone and as an import rose is much more expensive than the Formosan product , a mellow character product is essential and belike most of import . ”

Freight to Kenya – ChinaWhen entering the market , Red Lands Roses was , like most other company , dealing with the language and cultural roadblock . Now , however , they are still dealing with another major challenge which is shipping the roses from Kenya to China . There are no direct flights yet , which is according to Isabelle define the possibility to exploit this food market . “ The lack of freight move our fight , the vase life story and ware quality and the mental ability to carry out the gamey requirement for extra consequence periods . ” Unfortunately , on the short condition she does not see this changing . " As there is no cargo lifted from China to Kenya most of the Chinese import products go by sea . "

Further to growFor five years now , Red Lands Roses is shipping spray roses to China and is enter at the Hortiflorexpo IPM Shanghai for the fourth meter . Through the exhibitions , they meet their new and existing customers and give one per land the exclusivity to sell their product . This scheme is working out well and Isabelle realise good opportunities to produce further . “ China is a large country with a passel of State , so I expect to grow further in this country the coming years .
