The closure of nearly all major hotels in Naivasha due to the coronavirus has left suppliers and farmers counting losses running into millions of shillings. The most affected are those dealing with poultry and livestock products with hotels cancelling all their orders. Some of the affected farmers were involved in mass production ahead of the Easter season when demand is high. The chairman of South Lake hotels in Naivasha Peter Mehta admitted that hoteliers had been forced to cancel their orders due to the crisis. A dairy farmer Abel Kiarie said that he was supplying over 300 litres of milk to Naivasha hotels.
