On December 18, the European Union and Kenya reached a noteworthy milestone by signing an economic partnership agreement, marking a new era for trade between the two. The agreement, which has been under talk for several years, grants privileged access to the European market for Kenyan products.
Under this treaty, Kenyan goods now enjoy duty-free and quota-free access to the European market. In return, European countries can profit from tariff reductions when exporting their products to Kenya. This mutually beneficial relationship is anticipated to boost trade between the two parties.
The European market currently constitutes 20% of Kenyan exports, especially in the agricultural sector. With total trade valued at €3.3 billion, these figures have experienced a remarkable 27% growth in just five years.
