Horticulture earnings dropped by Sh2.8 billion in the first quarter of this year as the second wave of Covid-19 hit demand for Kenya flowers, which is a major segment of the overall earnings from the sector.
Data by the Directorate of Horticulture indicates that the country earned Sh46.1 billion from Sh48.9 billion in a similar period in 2019 weighed down by low demand of flowers in Europe.
