In 2016, more producers of cut flowers from Africa will be presenting themselves at the trade fair. The number of officially participating countries has also increased once again. In addition to Egypt, Ethiopia, China, Germany, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and the USA, companies from Costa Rica and India will also be exhibiting for the first time.
Already one day before the start of the trade fair, exhibitors and visitors can take part in a free guided tour of selected horticultural projects in Dubai. During the trade fair, international experts in the industry will be passing on their knowledge in seminars. The "Middle East Floral Designer of the Year 2016" will be announced on the third day of the trade fair.
Messe Essen and Planetfair Dubai LLC continue to support IPM Dubai as joint venture. Once again WOP Dubai, a trade fair for fresh produce, will be taking place at the same time as the horticultural trade fair.
