EMF Carnations in Ethiopia since 2004
Since 2004, EMF has been producing Carnations in Ethiopia, East Africa. Ethiopia consists for a large part of a volcanically formed high plateau that is surrounded on three sides by a low-lying desert. The Ethiopian highlands have an average altitude of 2000 meters, with peaks to 4000 meters. This area has numerous rivers (of which the Blue Nile is the best known), lakes and valleys.
This high plateau is ideal for the cultivation of Carnations, growing Carnations at an altitude of 2,500 meters ensures a very intensive color. The climate is also favorable for growing Carnations.
EMF Carnations are grown indoors
EMF Carnations are grown indoors (in tunnels), on an area of 40 hectares, about 700 employees are employed.
EMF produces about 24 million stems per year, all of which are imported to the Netherlands. Processed in Aalsmeer by Alkemade International the Carnations are prepared for the auction process at Royal FloraHolland and direct sale.
The Carnation is a trendy product
In Ethiopia and in the Netherlands a thorough quality control takes place and the flowering process is monitored in a flowering room. Due to innovations in breeding and shelf life, Carnations are highly valued by the market. The wide color palette and the many options make the Carnation a trendy product.
Expansion in Kenya and later in Ethiopia
EMF is currently working on an expansion in Kenya (planned for Q2 2022), later expansion in Ethiopia will follow.
This means that more standard carnations and bunch carnations will be grown, all with year-round production and a high quality.
