**_China’s leading floriculture province recorded 60.5% export growth in 2025 as
international buyers prepare to gather in Kunming this September_**

KUNMING, China, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — IFEX 2026 will take place in Kunming,
China, from September 18 to 20, 2026.

Yunnan, China’s leading producer and exporter of fresh-cut flowers, reached another
export milestone in 2025, with exports totaling RMB 1.22 billion (USD 170 million),
up 60.5% year on year and ranking No. 1 nationwide for the seventh consecutive year.

Nationwide, China’s flower exports totaled USD 579 million in 2025, with fresh-cut
flowers accounting for USD 228 million, up 44.3% year on year. Yunnan-grown blooms
are now exported to 64 countries and regions across Southeast Asia, Central Asia,
the Middle East and Europe, including Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia and the
UAE.

The export growth reflects Yunnan’s unique natural and industrial advantages: 130,000
hectares of flower cultivation, a multi-billion-yuan floriculture industry, and 
production of roughly seven out of every 10 fresh-cut flowers sold in China. Dedicated
green channels at Kunming Changshui International Airport, combined with 24/7 customs
clearance, move freshly harvested flowers from farm to freight aircraft in less 
than 20 hours — well within the industry’s critical 36-hour freshness window for
international shipments.

As global demand grows, IFEX Kunming International Flowers & Plants Expo 2026 will
bring growers, breeders and buyers together to explore new varieties, technology
and cross-border partnerships. Building on the success of the 2025 edition, the 
exhibition will take place on September 18–20 across 80,000 square meters, featuring
four sectors — flowers, coffee, tropical plants and berries — and more than 600 
exhibitors with an estimated 45,000 trade buyers.

This year’s show features the Netherlands and Colombia as Official Countries of 
Honor, alongside national pavilions hosted by Thailand, Malaysia and other key flower-
producing economies. Leading international exhibitors include **Legro, Van Egmond,
Prime Flowers, Vince Mark, Schreurs, Deliflor, Pindstrup, Rijkland, De Ruiter, Van
den Berg, Hasfarm, Florensis, Chrysal, BVB, Armada, Red Peony, Ridder, Van Iperen,
NaanDanJain, Hortimed, Holex, Floricultura, Priva, Hoogendoorn, Anthura, Jiff** 
and more.

Two dedicated programs support cross-border buyers:

 ◦ **Yunnan Flowers Export Zone:** Direct sourcing with Yunnan’s leading flower 
   growers.
 ◦ **Yunnan Flowers Going Global International Forum:** Expert presentations on 
   export policy, customs compliance, taxation, market trends and logistics.

The exhibition gives buyers direct access to China’s leading flower growers, international
breeding companies and suppliers of tropical plants, berries and specialty coffee,
helping them diversify sourcing and establish new supplier relationships in a single
visit.

As Asia’s leading integrated floral trade exhibition, IFEX Kunming 2026 provides
an international platform for sourcing, technology exchange and long-term business
partnerships across the global floriculture industry. Pre-registration is now open
for global buyers, media and trade professionals.
