Kenya is proposing a Free Trade Agreement with India to address a significant trade imbalance and boost Kenyan exports, which currently stand at a fraction of imports.

• The trade deficit is approximately Ksh271 billion, with Kenya exporting goods worth about Ksh19 billion versus imports of roughly Ksh262 billion.
• The proposal was announced by Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi during a ceremony on April 12.
• This initiative aligns with Kenya's ongoing trade discussions with other global partners like the European Union, the United States, and within Africa.
