IFEX Kunming International Flowers & Plants Expo Kunming

The IFEX Kunming International Flowers & Plants Expo is an international trade fair for the floriculture, horticulture and gardening industries and ranks among Asia's leading events for the ornamental horticulture sector. As a dedicated business platform, it brings together manufacturers, growers, suppliers and buyers from around the world, providing an ideal environment for business transactions, technology transfer and the expansion of international trade partnerships.

IFEX is held annually at the Dianchi International Exhibition Center in Kunming, the capital of China's Yunnan Province. The event is organised by RX Global, one of the world's leading trade fair organisers, headquartered in the United Kingdom. The company stages numerous B2B exhibitions worldwide and maintains an extensive network spanning a wide range of industries. Drawing on this international expertise, RX Global gives IFEX a global reach, attracting exhibitors and trade visitors from the world's leading floriculture and horticulture markets.

The exhibition showcases cut flowers such as roses, lilies, carnations, chrysanthemums and gerberas, alongside potted and ornamental plants, houseplants, seasonal plants, as well as nursery stock and landscape plants. The product range is complemented by seeds, young plants, new plant varieties and propagation material. IFEX also presents advanced greenhouse and production technologies, featuring innovative solutions for climate control, irrigation, lighting and automation. The exhibition further covers horticultural machinery, tools, crop protection products, fertilisers, growing media, floristry supplies, packaging systems, decorative products and display solutions. Additional focus areas include cold chain logistics, transport and export solutions, as well as services related to flower auctions, wholesale trade, e-commerce, international sourcing and sustainable supply chains. As a result, the exhibition represents the entire value chain of the modern floriculture and horticulture industry.

One of IFEX's key strengths is its close connection with Yunnan Province. The region is recognised as one of Asia's leading production and export centres for cut flowers, benefiting from its mild climate and outstanding natural conditions for commercial horticulture. Kunming is aptly known as the "City of Eternal Spring" and has established itself as one of China's principal centres for the flower trade. IFEX capitalises on this strategic location by connecting international buyers directly with growers and exporters from one of the country's most important flower-producing regions.

Highlights of IFEX include high-level industry forums, international conferences, presentations of new plant varieties and innovative technologies, and extensive networking opportunities for growers, exporters and buyers. Particular emphasis is placed on innovation, sustainable production methods and the international flower trade. The programme centres on practical technical presentations, market analyses and business matchmaking, complemented by product showcases and floristry demonstrations.

Exhibitors represent sectors including flower production, plant breeding, horticulture, greenhouse technology, agricultural technology, packaging, logistics, floristry, machinery manufacturing, crop protection, fertilisers, and trading and export companies. Key visitor groups include growers, nurseries, exporters and importers, flower and plant wholesalers, garden centres, florists, landscape architects, greenhouse operators, as well as international buyers from both the wholesale and retail sectors seeking new suppliers, products and technologies.

With the modern Dianchi International Exhibition Center as its venue, IFEX benefits from one of the largest and most advanced exhibition facilities in south-west China. The venue offers excellent infrastructure, spacious exhibition halls and ideal conditions for hosting international trade events. Thanks to its convenient connections to Kunming Changshui International Airport, China's high-speed rail network, and the city's metro and road systems, the exhibition grounds are easily and comfortably accessible for both domestic and international visitors.

The IFEX Kunming International Flowers & Plants Expo will take place on 3 days from Friday, 18. September to Sunday, 20. September 2026 in Kunming.
