Kenya reached a preliminary trade agreement with China, granting duty-free access for 98% of Kenyan exports to the Chinese market, officials said. The early-harvest arrangement will apply while negotiations continue toward a full bilateral trade deal. Authorities said the move aims to expand export volumes, particularly agricultural products, and help narrow Kenya’s large trade deficit with China, while supporting private sector growth and market diversification.
