How It Works
Ai2 at Naivasha Hortifair

A few months ago, Ai2 attended IFTEX 2024 and met several Kenyan growers. For most, it was a first-time meeting, while for others, it was a reunion. However, their cutting-edge solution to payment collection took center stage and aroused the curiosity of many Kenyan growers keen to procure their services.

Following up on the IFTEX, Ai2 attended this year's Naivasha Hortifair to build more on the connections established during the IFTEX, while also establishing new acquaintances and prospects. Their presence emphasized the company's commitment to offering a secure collection of payments for Kenyan growers. 

Secure Payment Collection for African Growers

The orange team of Ai2 sees Africa as a strategic market for their business, given the size of the floriculture industry and its rapid growth. For this reason, consistent presence is crucial to connecting, showcasing their system, and addressing any concerns that growers might have. Gaining trust is the first step, and what better way than being always present? This is what the Ai2 team strives to do at any given opportunity. Naivasha Hortifair was an opportunity to reconnect with existing customers and meet new prospects.

"Orange Ai2 Team is back in Kenya again to offer the growers the right and secured collection of their export invoices to Europe. Within Ai2, Kenya is my project, and we will do whatever we can to achieve the right flow of money for the growers."
