In the last five years, Ethiopia experienced a floriculture investment boom. The sector isrnplaying a key role in the national economy of the country especially in securing hardrncurrency to the nation and creating job opportunities to urban and rural residents.rnNevertheless, the floriculture industry is also known for its poor working conditionrnworldwide. Considering this, the thesis has an objective of assessing the workingrnconditions of workers based on a case study of four flower farms in West Showa zone,rnOromiya regional stale and assessing stakeholders ' views, activilies. challenges andrnplanned activities 10 promote responsible flower produclion 10 Ihe workers. In order tornaddress this objective the research has employed sample survey of 90 flower farm workers,rndepth interview with selected farm workers, supervisors and farm managers, and keyrninformant discussion with relevant stakeholders. The findings were analyzed usingrnqualitative and quantilative methods of analysis.The findings revealed that in the farms sludied most workers are non-permanenl whichrnresull in job insecurity and prevent Ihem/i'om demanding their rig/1Is. The majorily of Ihemrnare paid 10,,1 wages which are not enough even for subsistence, most of Ihem are alsorndenied of sick leave, annual leave, maternity leave and weekly rest days. There is alsorndiscrimination among workers in giving promotion, and also health and safety rules arernnot properly implemented and respected in the farm. Similarly, there is dire lack of basicrnfacilities in most farms studied. Above all basic constitutional and labor rights to OIganizerninto trade unions and 10 forward their adminislralive problems of the workers in allfarmsrnstudied are deniedThe study also revealed that relevant slakeholders covered by Ihe study share the view Ihatrnthe industry is playing pivotal role in reducing unemployment by creating employmentrnopportunities. At the same time, most of the stakeholders also revealed that the industryrnfails to fulfill basic working conditions and violates basic labor rights. To averl thisrnproblem some of Ihe slakeholders have been trying to improve the working conditions inrnIhe flower farms using their capacity and mandate. These include close supervision of thernfarms and recommendation on their shortcomings, monitoring the amount and type of thernagrochemicals that is applied in the flower farms, creating awareness on labor rights andrnminimum working conditions, developing code of conduct, introducing less toxic pestrncontrol techniques, supporting the establishment of trade unions in the farms and givingrnlegal aid. Howevel; these stakeholders have been constrained Fom realizing Iheir plannedrnactivities due to poliliccd interferencefi'om higher hierarchy of Ihe governmenl (especiallyrnlocal labor offices and crop protection departmenl), poor olganizational capacity and lackrnof cooperation Fom the inveslors.rnBased on the findings the paper concludes thaI the flower farms understudy are for behindrnFom being responsible farms 10 their workers. And Ihe stakeholders have done fewrnaclivities to promote a socially responsible flower production; but they are leji wilh longrnway to go. Finally, the Ihesis recommends Ihaifarms should adopl production ,system basedrnon the ICC and other flower labels and the local level labor offices ' capacity should bernenhanced and should be able to execute their responsibility Fee Fom political intervention.
