01

The place changes

The fair's scale, drawing more than thirty thousand visitors and over three hundred exhibitors from fifteen-plus countries to a single Rift Valley town, reflects horticulture's genuinely outsized role in the Kenyan economy, an industry generating well over a billion US dollars in annual export earnings and employing more than forty percent of the population

02

The mystery stays covered

Its stated one hundred percent charitable structure, channeling proceeds toward regional support activities, distinguishes it from a purely commercial trade show model
