Kenya Concerned About Mass Relocation of Flower Farms to EthiopiaOctober 13, 2017 - Prolonged labor disputes and high cost of production are driving flower farmers out of Kenya, reports standard media. According to Kenyan government officials, unending strikes by workers agitating for higher pay against the backdrop of a shrinking market had seen flower farmers relocate to Ethiopia. Hundreds of workers from flower farms have of late been relieved of their duties, with the high cost of production and a shrinking market taking the blame. Institute of Human Resource Management Chairman Elijah Stimah said they were prepared to help counties deal with the labour crisis. “The industrial actions that we see in companies could end if those responsible for human resource are sourced from the association,” he said.
