We export to a lot of countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq as well.
Our losses can be anywhere between $30,000 to $50,000 a day, and that is a huge amount considering 80% of our market is Middle Eastern.

Our company has really been affected.
Our market basically is 80% to the Middle East.
And when airspace are locked, our flights are reduced.
That means we're not able to sell anything because our customers cannot ship out anything.
And like all perishables, we have a shelf life.
So we usually keep the flowers for a maximum of five days.
If in those five days they are unsold, we...
move them to local sales but the only challenge is we don't get our growing costs back so in a nutshell we're still at a loss even if we sell them to the local market it's still a big hit for us sometimes the dubai opened up its airspace and you know customers start sending us orders so we park and deliver the flowers to the airport so once we've delivered the flowers
The customers come back to us and tell us the flight has been cancelled already.
And they ask us to collect the boxes back from the airport.
It goes back to a shredder machine and we reuse ours that are unsold as fertilizers.
And, you know, it goes back to the compost.
I'm assuming the losses on a daily basis for one farm could be anywhere between $20,000 to $30,000 annually.
