Flamingo Group International (FGI) is a world-class horticultural agribusiness and one of Europe’s leading suppliers of fresh cut flowers, house and garden plants, and premium produce. The company operates seven own farms across Kenya and Ethiopia, covering over 2,300 hectares, and collaborates with 900 partner growers in more than 19 countries to deliver high-quality products to retailers and consumers across the UK and Europe.

FGI’s business model combines vertically integrated own-grown farms with partner-grown produce to ensure quality, supply security, and a diverse portfolio that meets market demands throughout seasonal and climatic variations. The company produces roses, spray carnations, and floral fillers, as well as premium vegetables including Tenderstem, broccoli, fine beans, runner beans, sugar snap mangetout, and spring onions. By growing, harvesting, and packing as close to the source as possible, FGI ensures product freshness, superior quality, and an efficient supply chain.

Serving grocery multiples, online direct-to-consumer brands, discounters, grocers, and florists, FGI prioritizes sustainable farming practices with minimal chemical inputs, responsible water use, and cultivation of the best varieties and cultivars. Farms also act as regional hubs supporting third-party growers, contributing to the growth of local communities and regional agricultural networks.

From pioneering produce cultivation in 1982 to becoming one of the world’s largest producers of cut roses, FGI’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence has positioned it as a global leader in horticulture. With a strong focus on quality, efficiency, and community impact, FGI exemplifies modern, sustainable agribusiness in Africa.
