A Kenyan flower farmer tends his crop at Gatanga, Thika district, 70 kilometres northeast of the capital, Nairobi, in Kenya's Central province highlands, 15 November 2007, to be harvested and exported mainly to the EU, Kenya's principal horticulture market. Kenya's major employer and foreign exchange earner, horticulture, now teeters on calamity following the likely introduction of a tax on fresh produce from Kenya by the EU, if a new law takes effect next January. Fruits, flowers and farm products would attract an eight to 15 per cent tax which according to the UK based, Fresh Produce Consortium would see importers reconsider Kenya as a source, jeopardising more than 135,000 jobs and at least affecteing one million others dependent on the Kenyan horticulture industry.
