One of its major objectives is the dissemination of information to enable the membership and the general horticultural community achieves high levels of proficiency, and thus enables Kenya to maintain its global status as a top horticultural producing nation. This is in light of the emerging international standards in production and food safety, occasioned by increased consumer awareness among other global concerns. Hortifair Kenya is thus perhaps the most important tool with which FPEAK executes this objective.

The Export Promotion Council (EPC) is Kenya’s premier institution in the development and promotion of export trade. Established in 1992,EPC’s primary objective was to address bottlenecks that were facing exporters and producers of export goods and services with a view to increasing the performance of the export sector. The Council was therefore established for the purpose of giving an outward orientation to an economy that was hitherto inward looking. Over time,the EPC has fully embraced the mandate of co-ordinating and harmonising export development and promotion activities in the country,providing leadership to all national export programmes. Today,EPC is the focal point for export development and promotion activities in the country.
