    "content": "In 2003, Kenya supplied 11,000 tonnes of dried flower to the Pyrethrum Board of Kenya (PBK). From 2005, we dropped to less than 1,000 tonnes per annum. In 2011, only 470 tonnes was supplied. This year, which is coming to an end, perhaps we may not even get to the target or to the level that we attained last year. Again, in the early and mid 1990s, Kenya supplied 92 per cent of the world’s pyrethrum. Today, we only account for just 2 per cent of the pyrethrum production. In the 1990s, we dominated the market and actually, the world considered Kenya as the sole source. Today, we trail Australia, Rwanda, Tanzania and China. It is also worth noting that in the 1990s, Australia did not produce pyrethrum at all, but today it is accounting for 65 per cent of the world production. It attributes this growth to our failure as Kenyans to do anything to help the industry. They are aiming at growing and controlling the market and essentially taking it over completely from Kenya."
