Kenya Flower Industry – Oserian Farm, Naivasha Oserian make efforts to show the positive effect they have on Kenya. They boast connections with the Geothermal power plant (which provides 25% of Kenyas power). They claim to have part-funded the plant.

Kenya Flower Industry – Oserian Farm, Naivasha The industry is not always what its made out to be. It can be seen as: De-skilling (reverse of development). People are made to work long hours for poor wages. Kenyas minimum wage is below the African average so paying the minimum wage is not a huge achievement. Maternity leave is poor compared with other African regions, so female workers struggle. Employment is mainly on a casual basis.

Kenya Flower Industry – Oserian Farm, Naivasha Oserians funding can create dependency. If Oserian pulled out, it would be a disaster for the country.

Kenya Flower Industry – Oserian Farm, Naivasha 150,000 people live on the shore of lake Naivasha as many people migrated to the area for work and water. Irrigation from Lake Naivasha often creates water shortages for these people.

Kenya Flower Industry – Oserian Farm, Naivasha Fair Trade – farmers are given a fair price. Free Trade – Tariffs (import and export taxes) are removed.

Kenya Flower Industry – Oserian Farm, Naivasha Kenya has low taxes with export to Europe. This encourages trade (called liberalisation). Unfortunately, this means that companies like Oserian can grow large. They claim free trade and labels to state this are added at source.

Kenya Flower Industry – Oserian Farm, Naivasha Tescos have worked hard with Kenyan farms to provide not only work, but a better lifestyle for Kenyan farmers.
