In the traditional sense, gypsophila is primarily a product of Ecuador. Ecuadorian farmers for many years hold leading positions due to the stable quality, large inflorescences and a wide range of varieties, both natural and dyed gypsophila. However, with the start of the busy wedding season this year, there has been a reduction in the supply of Ecuadorian gypsophila.
With the current limited supply of gypsophila on the Ecuadorian free market due to high demand in Europe and the USA, we recommend our European customers to look at alternative sources of supply. Gypsophila grown in Kenya may be one such solution. Although it has been on the world flower market for a long time, it has previously stayed in the background of the familiar Ecuadorian standard. Nevertheless, at this point it is worth recognizing that Kenyan farms have significantly improved the quality of their products, offering competitive options.
Some of the main advantages of Kenyan Gypsophila include:
- Cost.
The price of Kenyan gypsophila is on average 20% lower than Ecuadorian gypsophila, which can be especially relevant for customers in a price-competitive environment.
- Transportation.
Kenya's geographical proximity to Europe allows for shorter logistics chains and lower shipping costs for end buyers.
Kenyan farms offer mainly the Excellence (xlence) variety of gypsophila.
Available for ordering in 625g / 750g / 875g / 1000g bunches. 18 bunches per SJB (Small Jumbo Box). Box size: 100*48*20.
As for dyed gypsophila, farms offer the following color palette:
Orders for Kenyan gypsophila should be placed in advance, 5-7 days before the planned date of departure from the farms.
Against the background of the current market situation, gypsophila from Kenya can be an interesting alternative. This is especially true for European customers who want a combination of price, availability, and fast logistics.
