How the Kuwait market works
Kuwait is a single-gateway market. Air cargo arrives through Kuwait International Airport, a short distance from the wholesalers, florists and event companies of Kuwait City and its suburbs. Buyers here tend to work with clear, repeat specifications and expect consistency in head size, stem length and colour from one consignment to the next.
February is the busiest stretch of the year. Valentine’s Day on the 14th is followed within days by National Day on 25 February and Liberation Day on 26 February, when homes, shops and offices are decorated in the colours of the national flag. In some years Ramadan also begins in or near February, so several peaks can fall within a few weeks of each other. We plan these weeks with you well in advance so that volumes, colours and cargo space are agreed early.
Weddings are a large and long-running source of demand, typically concentrated in the cooler months from autumn into spring, along with engagements and family gatherings. Hall weddings and diwaniya receptions can call for high volumes of roses, carnations and lilies, often in coordinated colour schemes. Ramadan and the Eids follow the lunar calendar and move about eleven days earlier each year.
Summer is very hot in Kuwait, and flowers can spend time on the apron and in transit sheds between landing and collection. We discuss packing, box sizes and the timing of your collection from the airport, so that the cold chain is kept as short and unbroken as the route allows.
We coordinate sourcing to your specification, quality checks, packing for air freight and the export documents in India, including the phytosanitary certificate. The import permit from Kuwait’s Public Authority of Agriculture Affairs and Fish Resources and customs clearance on arrival sit with you as the importer. We share draft documents before dispatch so that the permit, invoice and certificate details line up, which helps avoid questions at inspection. Exact timings and the final document list are confirmed for each order.
