20% of the Kenyan economy is based on the export of green vegetables (beans, sugar-snap peas and okra) and cut flowers to Europe
These are perishable goods and they are transported by plane to keep them fresh.
No flights into Europe meant products returned unsold and destroyed.
The ash cloud has cost the Kenyan economy millions of pounds during the flight ban.
