Kenya Secures Permanent Duty-Free Access to EU Markets
Kenyan exporters have secured a permanent duty-free access to the 27 country, €14 trillion European Union market when Trade Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano signed the Kenya-EU Economic Partnership Agreement alongside European Union Ambassador Henriette Geiger, at Kenya's State House.
The event that concluded several years of negotiations to permanently secure Kenya's largest export market was witnessed by President William Ruto and the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
This agreement opens up additional avenues for exporters of Kenyan flowers, vegetables, avocados, coffee and other products to secure long-term buyer partnerships in the EU as well as stronger incentives to invest more in production and value addition, reports Capital FM.
