With annual gross sales of USD 10 billion (import value of cut flowers in 2006 is USD 228 million; Import volume of cut flowers in 2006 is 34,114 tons), Japan’s Flower Market is second largest in the world. Imports of cut flowers to Japan have been increasing steadily since 1997.

As a consequence of this market demand, IFEX has rapidly become established as Asia’s largest international trade show for the flower industry. Now, in its fifth year, IFEX is not only the gateway to the Japanese market, but also to the markets of Asia, including China, Korea and Taiwan.

Many exhibitors from all over the world are already taking advantage of IFEX to expand their business. It is your turn to tap into the huge Japanese and Asian Markets.

860 exhibitors will exhibit at IFEX 2008. 32.000 buyers will visit IFEX 2008.
