Kenya is hoping that East African Community member states join the new trade agreement it signed on Wednesday with the UK.
Although the agreement between Nairobi and London protects Kenya’s coffee, fresh vegetables, cut flowers and tea exports from taxation in the UK market, it also provides for exports of local products whose raw materials have been sourced from other developing countries.
