Kenya and China have concluded talks to remove tariffs on key Kenyan exports, including tea, coffee, and avocados, marking a significant breakthrough for Kenyan agricultural products entering the vast Chinese market.

• Kenya currently faces a 10 percent tariff on goods entering China, which could be scrapped under the new agreement.
• President William Ruto announced the agreement during the Presidential Private Sector Roundtable in Nairobi.
• In the first half of last year, Kenya imported goods worth Sh546.3 billion from China, while exporting approximately Sh26.32 billion, highlighting a significant trade deficit.
