The United Kingdom has temporarily suspended duty on flower imports in a boost to Kenya’s multibillion-shilling export industry, the European nation announced Thursday.

The suspension of the eight percent duty on cut flowers initially for two years ending June 2026, the UK says, will apply to all growers across the world who sell their bloom directly or through other countries like the Netherlands.
