Please see below a brief chronology of the events:

An almost two-week strike in Ecuador affected the flower business very much.
The flower farms were affected by this strike: in addition to the blocked roads, protesters began attack the farms and threatened farms’ employees.
Air cargo traffic was disrupted: many airlines were forced to cancel their flights in the last days of the strike.
