About Us - K-Net Flowers

Mike King'ori, Marketing Director of K-Net Flowers is seen here inspecting some varieties before purchase.

K-Net is a broker of flowers and foliage for the fresh market in Europe and North America. We buy from both large and small growers, and ship into many European countries, the United States, Japan and the Middle East. Gross sales were in excess of US$ 2,000,000 in 2005, of which about 40% was in the US market. Currently K-Net operates out of a main office in the Lavington Green complex, and a warehouse/office at JKIA, and employs 11 people.

K-Net Flowers, Ltd., is a family-owned business built on the marketing and management skills of two sisters and a husband, who own the company between them. Begun as a home business in 1999, and operated in the beginning mainly by Mrs. Carol King'ori, based upon marketing connections identified by her husband, Mike, through his contacts in the flower business, K-Net Flowers, Ltd. (from King'ori Network) has grown rapidly.

K-Net is leading the way for the Kenyan floriculture industry into the US market. US sales have expanded dramatically from nothing in 2001 to almost a million dollars in 2005. Sales grew dramatically after K-Net's participation in the Miami World Floral Expo flower show in March, 2006, and contacts made at that show indicate that further penetration of the US market appears promising.
