Did you know that the UK is a key and well-tested strategic partner. It is the 5th largest export destination for Kenya’s exports. In 2018 Kenya’s exports to the UK amounted to Ksh. 40.20 billion, (pound sterling 304.6 million) which is about 6.6 percent of Kenya’s exports

Take a look at this. It wasn’t just the flowers
