Investors have to opportunity to start with the production of cut flowers in Kwara State, situated in central Nigeria.

Kwara State's climate is well suited for flower production but the sub-sector has never the less seen very little investment over the past decades.

Nigeria is ideally located for the export of flowers to the United States and Europe. With the new cargo terminal recently established at Kwara's Ilorin International Airport, flowers can easily be transported via air to export destinations. With a population of 140 million, a sizeable market for flowers also exist within the country itself.

The Kwara State Government is willing to assist investors in all areas of establishing and operating the business. These incentives include: easy access to land, loans, tax breaks, and essential infrastructure such as water, electricity and access roads.

Investors interested in this opportunity should contact:
