The Amsterdam flower auction has resumed after closure that resulted from Covid-19, offering a lifeline for Kenyan producers who saw their volumes fall sharply due to the lockdown of European economies at the height of the pandemic outbreak.
The slow season has seen Oserian — Kenya’s largest flower farm— currently sell an average of 21,000 stems of flowers at the auction, down from 200,000 stems that they would do before the outbreak of Coronavirus at this time of the year.
