New US state-level partnerships are being established to facilitate greater access for Kenyan farmers and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to the American market.

• These pacts aim to overcome the complexities Kenyan businesses face in accessing the US market, even with existing programs like the African Growth and Opportunity Act (Agoa).
• The initiative involves fostering direct connections between Kenyan producers and American consumers.
• This move seeks to unlock new trade opportunities and boost the export potential of Kenyan agricultural products and other goods.
