Economic impact of AFCON 2017 and Kenyan flower industry targets Australia [Business Africa]

Economic impact of Afcon 2017

The ongoing AFCON is said to have cost Gabon over 760 million dollars to prepare and host.

A section of Gabonese believe it is worth the expenditure but others question the economic justification in hosting the event and its impact locally.

Kenyan flower industry targets Australia

Kenya Airways has been contracted to uplift up to 30 tons of cut flowers a month from Nairobi to Australia.

A major game changer for Kenya, in terms of increasing trade exports of flowers to non traditional markets thus generating revenue.
