How global private corporations keep Kenyan workers poor

If Kenya’s big flower farms that export their produce to the United Kingdom added just five pence (Sh65) to the price of a £4 (Sh518) bunch of roses the wages of a flower farm worker would double, according to a report by UK charity Oxfam.

Oxfam International, which is moving its headquarters to Nairobi, says in the report that pricing of Africa’s fresh produce in European markets is one of the many factors deepening the huge wealth disparity between Kenya’s commercial farmers and their workers.
