Production of garments and textile products destined for the US market has been adversely affected by the strike of 7,000 employees at three Export Processing Zone factories in Mombasa on Friday, which has entered its fifth day.
The affected factories, Ashton Apparel, Mombasa Apparel EPZ and MK Apparel, operating under the African Growth and Opportunities Act (Agoa), have been hit hard by the strike that began on Monday last week.
