Kenya is losing about KSh 684.2 billion annually in unrealized export potential, according to an industry study, as the country remains a net importer. The report cites unexploited opportunities in regional EAC and COMESA markets, particularly in manufacturing and value-added goods. Export earnings declined in several African markets, despite total exports reaching KSh 1.1 trillion. Industry and government leaders called for regulatory reforms, lower business costs, and stronger value chains to improve competitiveness.
