Kordes Roses unveils Evita® at IFTEX 2015
During this year's IFTEX show, Kordes Roses showcased an inspiring assortment primarily geared towards better quality and higher production. This according to Christian Meuschke, Marketing Manager at Kordes Roses East Africa is key for rose growers in the region to remain competitive in the market.
Christian also noted an improvement in standards displayed at this year's show but at the same time decried a low turn out of international buyers.
