The United States has consolidated its new status as the largest buyer of Kenyan goods, warding off a spirited comeback by Uganda, which it toppled in the first half of this year.
Fresh data by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that Kenya’s exports to the US hit Sh52.1 billion in the eight months to August— the highest among all buyers of locally produced goods and extending Washington’s reign as Kenya’s biggest export market.
