The Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) is prioritizing fresh produce exports by implementing dedicated lanes at the Port of Mombasa to mitigate delays caused by ongoing conflicts affecting maritime routes.

• Exports of perishable goods like avocados, coffee, tea, and meat are being fast-tracked.
• The KPA, led by Managing Director William Ruto, has designated specific gates and lanes for export containers, including refrigerated ones.
• These measures aim to reduce transit times, which have increased by 10–20 days due to cargo diversion away from Red Sea routes.
