Traders are looking forward to the restoration of the Africa Growth Opportunity Act (AGOA) agreement between Rwanda and the United States after the recently held US-Africa Summit to boost their exports.
It has been five years since the US removed Rwanda from countries that enjoy duty-free exports to the US under Agoa. The decision was made after Kigali refused to rescind a decision to lock out second-hand clothes and shoes.
