Accessing export markets by smallholders is undermined by their low capabilities for value addition, post-harvest handling and marketing. The Kenyan government is promoting partnerships between smallholder farmers and agri-business actors (exporters) as a mechanism for integrating smallholder farmers into the high value export horticulture.

CARE TIPS

As a product specialist, we are happy to help you with useful tips with which you can enjoy the callas for weeks.

• Put the Calla in a disinfected vase / bucket after arrival
• Cut the flowers off 1-2 cm
• Put a small layer of water in the vase/bucket (5 cm)
• Add antibacterial agent to the water (e.g. Chlorine Pill Chrysal CVBN)
• Keep the flowers out of the sun

Zantedeschia – Calla

Clean lines, intense colours, round shapes. The Calla is a flower with a special appearance. She draws attention to herself, whether she is incorporated in a beautiful bouquet or independently in a vase. Our callas are available from October to May. The color mix we offer is tailored to the trends that play within the markets in which we operate.

The calyx of the calla is actually a petal and grows serene and stately from the stem. The real flowers are very small and are located on the sensual spadix in the chalice shape.
