Butterfly business takes off: Kenyan farmers say the sector lacks good management

Butterfly farming has taken off along Kenya’s coast.
The insects are being cultivated and then collected, for export to Europe and the US.
The trade’s providing a living for hundreds of local women, and a much-needed boost for conservation.
But some farmers there say they’re not earning what they should.

Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports from Malindi, on the southern Kenyan coast.
