BTW, in the 1970's Kenya accounted for 90% of global pyrethrum production. What happened to this natural insecticide? I think it has been overtaken by chemical insecticides. Same thing can happen to flowers as Chinese sales of plastic flowers boom to overtaken natural flowers

Hehehe...plastic flowers have some ways to go.  If they can grow real flowers cheaper and all year round then it could happen.  I think the real competition for Kenya is the Ethiopian.

Yes Kenya was main pyrethrum producer..until very recently..when it was mismanaged..or well  chemical insecticides overtook it.

If well marketed and managed, pyrethrum can make a comeback. Many people especially in developed countries are turning away from chemical insecticides. This could be a chance for Kenya's pyrethrum.

Hope somebody is reading...I remember reading vultures are targeting the assets of pythrum board..including some 600 acres or so in Molo, Nakuru.
