In the heart of Kenya’s vibrant agricultural economy, flowers are more than a product—they are a symbol of beauty, resilience, and global excellence. At the helm of this thriving sector is Clement Tulezi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya Flower Council (KFC), the premier business membership organization representing the nation’s floriculture industry.
With decades of combined expertise in agribusiness, policy, and advocacy, Tulezi has been instrumental in positioning Kenya as a global leader in flower exports. Under his stewardship, the Kenya Flower Council has not only expanded its membership base but also strengthened international partnerships, reinforcing Kenya’s reputation as one of the world’s top suppliers of high-quality flowers. His leadership has been marked by a deep commitment to sustainability and competitiveness.
Tulezi champions initiatives that address climate change, water efficiency, and ethical labor practices—ensuring that Kenya’s floriculture industry is not only profitable but also environmentally and socially responsible. This has been vital in maintaining strong market confidence in Europe and other export destinations. Beyond trade, Tulezi is passionate about empowering the people behind the blooms. By engaging growers, farm workers, and communities, he ensures that the benefits of floriculture are widely felt across Kenya. Thousands of livelihoods are supported by the industry, and Tulezi’s focus on inclusivity and fair practice has amplified its role in national economic growth.
A trusted voice in both local and international forums, Tulezi continues to advocate for policies that enhance Kenya’s competitiveness in global markets while nurturing the resilience of growers in the face of global supply chain challenges. His vision is clear: to keep Kenya’s flowers not only as a symbol of beauty worldwide but also as a driver of prosperity at home. As Kenya navigates the evolving dynamics of international trade, Clement Tulezi stands as a steady hand and a passionate advocate—ensuring that the floriculture sector remains one of the country’s brightest success stories.
