Coronavirus lockdowns hit flower farms in Kenya

The flower producers say more than 30,000 casual workers have already been sent home, and tens of thousands more workers stand to lose their jobs in the weeks ahead.

The jobs of millions of people all over the world are hanging in the balance as a result of the pandemic.

Tens of thousands of low-paid workers at flower farms have already lost their jobs in Kenya because of a lack of demand due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Many of them are sole earners and many of them now do not know how will they feed their families.
