It also accounted for 9% of cut flower shipments and imported 121 million pounds of coffee, tea and spices from Kenya last year.\n\u201cI am glad that we have concluded a trade agreement with Kenya. This provides certainty that business will continue as it is now, supporting jobs and livelihoods in each of our two countries, \u201dsaid Ranil Jayawardena, UK Minister for International Trade.\nSource Ecofin Agency\n","author":15,"featured_media":9960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[614],"location":[511],"class_list":["post-9959","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-uk","location-kenya-en"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3fN3imG","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"This is thanks to the trade agreement between the two countries which should allow trade to be maintained despite Brexit.<br \/>\nIn Kenya, agricultural exports to the UK will continue to benefit from duty relief despite Brexit.","media":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/125176945_2442907992684983_6369121865411810702_n.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/125176945_2442907992684983_6369121865411810702_n.jpg 550w","sizes":"550px","alt":"","width":550,"height":360,"ratio":0.66,"credit_photo":""},"media-news-header":{"src":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/125176945_2442907992684983_6369121865411810702_n.jpg","srcset":"https:\/\/www.ecomnewsmed.com\/app\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/11\/125176945_2442907992684983_6369121865411810702_n.jpg 1170w","sizes":"1170px","alt":"","width":1170,"height":658,"ratio":0.66,"credit_photo":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kenya: Shipments of agricultural products to the Uk will continue to be duty free - Ecomnews Afrique<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"This provision was ratified as part of the 6th trade agreement finalized between the two countries on November 3.
