Kenya is projecting a 10 per cent drop in earnings from its flower exports as East Africa’s cut-flower industry registers another year of mixed returns.
Uganda expects earnings to stay flat, as growers blame high production costs and taxes on flowers by the European Union. Tanzania, on the other hand, expects a 10 per cent increase in earnings owing to improved market access.
