Dubai Flower Centre was developed to handle flower imports and exports, as Dubai is a major hub for the import and export of flowers and the airport required a specialist facility since these products need special conditions.

The handling capacity of the centre is anticipated to exceed 300,000 metric tonnes of product throughput per annum. The cold storage facility at Dubai Flower Centre is fully bonded and measures 34,000 square metres. DFC currently houses around 19 tenants from 11 countries that offer a diverse range of products and varieties of cut flowers, plants, foliage, fruits and vegetables.
